With warm weather on Saturday drawing people outside to the food trucks — which at times ran out of food before restocking — she said the entire weekend brought steady crowds. “The museum said they’ve never seen their parking lot this full,” she said. “I think people are excited to see what we can do with the two museums and how we can continue to grow the event.”
