My title almost says it all.. the highlight for me is seeing the bears fed at 11:00 am on Saturday. I went early and all the animals were out. I stayed a little over one hour and felt I had plenty of time to see everything but was solo so would allow more time with children.
3. Terry Redlin Museum

Reviewed By Mary Lou I
We enjoyed learning more about Terry Redlin's life and passion for art. Seeing that many original paintings of his along with the story of what the artist was trying to convey was very inspirational. The museum is free and certainly a gift. When we got home we were about to enjoy the prints we have of his even more. The day we toured the museum was a rainy day but it would have been a wonderful activity, rain or not.

Big, beautiful and still used for weddings, performances, small restaurant, meeting rooms. Many improvements/restorations have been completed and many more to come. It was very interesting and the citizens should be commended for preserving this lovely building.

If you want an absolutely amazing massage go to Rochelle at Five Star Massage! A 60 or 90 minute massage is pure heaven. Rochelle is very knowledgable about her profession. Rochelle has helped me out a lot with just the usual aches and pains and also breaking down scar tissue due to an incision. She has also recommended some essential oils that I believe have been very helpful. Rochelle is very accomodating when it comes to scheduling appointments. I would and do recommend Five Star Massage to all my family and friends!

I don't come here a lot because there isn't a ton here but it's ok for a small town. It used to be a busy mall but lots of businesses left. Recently more stores have opened their doors here so hopefully they can make a go of things.
