event Kempton / Berks Pepper Jam - Memorial Day Weekend 2016

Just got the vendor email for the Berks (formerly Kempton) Pepper Jam for Memorial Day Weekend 2016.
 
This is mostly directed to Defcon John & Redhawk Dan...
 
This year it is a Friday & Saturday, instead of Saturday and Sunday. And Friday is from 4-10...
 
Not sure how I feel about that...Festival was good for me but far from a blockbuster money maker compared to others I have done. Perhaps the new location will generate more people?
 
But with the event starting on the Friday before a holiday weekend, I can't help but feel that the first day would be a disaster. People are gonna be getting off work at 5 after a full work week and want to get home to rest up for a full weekend of 'events'. Who is gonna leave work to goto a 'technically' new first year event at this location?
 
This isn't like Bowers , where the Friday/Saturday set-up is an institution....In my eyes, it leaves only Saturday for a potential good day of sales....In addition, it leaves my Sunday wide open...While i am sure there are one day (Sunday) events going to be floating around, I am sure the good ones would be Saturday/Sunday affairs...
 
not sure I want to pull the trigger again, outside of hanging out with you two crazy guys!  Early bird registration goes till November 30th, so I will ponder...
 
What do you guys think??
