child and sunshade questions

I'll agree on the EZ-UP's not blocking the view for everyone else around/behind you. There was a concentrated effort last year from a few folks (that have already responded to this post) to gather together in one area so their views of the stage was not restricted by the TBF Kelty Village that springs up each year. Hope that happens again in 2011 because it was A LOT cooler in the EZ-UP Village when I really needed a break from the sun!

Debbie, didn't you and Steve find a light weight model at Walmart?

we get ours at Walmart but they are not particularly light.. Check out the Coleman that Jeff is suggesting.. His seems to work well too and doesnt block the view and all the other Kelty negatives... The Walmart ones are reasonable on the budget though and have held up pretty well for several years at TBF and some boy scout activities even with some big winds etc.... 

Oh and that's another thing about Kelty's- if you are bringing them- make sure you get them tied down tight because the KELTY"S love to go airborne- some go really, really high!!!!

I don't usually go in for segregation, but an EZ-up village and a Kelty village sounds like a good idea to me.  Better view and easier to walk through or make new friends sharing some shade.

I have a First-Up from WalMart  www.walmart.com/ip/First-Up-10-x-10-Gazebo/8571900
