I went to The Moscow Ballet to perform the Nutcracker on November 2nd. I order directly from the box office through there will-call option. They sent confirmation emails and customer service emails concerning late entry rules for the event and parking instructions. ANd even a thank you for attending email. great experience digitally. But that extended to the school and staff. everyone was professional and kind. they had free Valet parking brought to you by a University club that took donations for the service. They were no asking for money it was all voluntary on pickup of your vehicle. With my wife being disabled this is an option that I was extremely happy with and tipped willingly. And the show was worth every penny and then some. but this review is for the venue.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Golden Fox Brewing was created by two friends, Jim Fox and Kevin Ray, both of whom dabbled in homebrewing. Years ago, Kevin received a homebrewing kit for his birthday and was immediately hooked on the hobby. When Kevin started taking his homebrew to Indianapolis Colt's tailgates, he then discovered Jim also homebrewed. Through brewing for themselves and friends, they discovered that others loved the beers they crafted as much as they did. With people offering to buy their beer, the dream started to come alive—to brew beer on a professional level. The goal was to start out small, then grow steadily and ultimately retire from their full-time jobs. The opportunity arose to start and grow faster much sooner than expected. Now here we are, opening a taproom just three short years later!

It was a little on the cold side, but there was good hot chocolate for only fifty cents, and every station had good treats/candy/trinkets to collect. We especially enjoyed the "Haunted Train Ride." There were actually people dressed in costume running after the train. It was scary, but not too scary. The Conductor made it fun.
