Two of our kids recently attended a Kids Night Out at Hello Handmade. It went for two and a half…read morehours which gave my husband and I time to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a concert in the park. The kids had a great time doing 3D doodling. There were enough 3D pens for each of the kids to use their own and Dara led them through how to use them safely. Pizza for the kids was part of the cost which was great because it really gives the class an additional value. I love having Hello Handmade in town as a creative outlet and safe spot for our kids.

After having done several paint nite events, our family wanted to do something fun and creative but…read moredifferent. We found everything we were hoping to and more at Fun & Feng Shui! Daisy, the owner, went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. We made driftwood succulent crafts at an unbeatable price of $35 per person! We picked out everything from the piece of driftwood we used, to the individual plants, to the color of the rocks and moss! Besides being a super fun and interesting activity, Daisy made us cocktails (they have a HUGE selection), and even made us some finger foods. We did the driftwood succulent craft, but we are going back again for Daisy's Mixology class. It was a blast the first visit, and we are looking forward to the second one!

Daisy is the owner of Fun & Feng Shui. I was interested in trying her mixology class and I decided…read moreto take it with my family. Before taking mixology, she asked me what days and times works best and explained to me what to expect. She asked my family and I what kind of alcoholic drinks we like (i.e. rum, vodka and tequila). She then said she would find mixed drinks that she thought we would like and that there would be one desert drink. I was not sure what to expect, but it was a great experience and had appetizers throughout the entire time. The activity takes about two hours, and when you do mixology you are your own bartender. My first experience at her location was the driftwood succulent craft and I thought Daisy was very kind and very helpful. She also made mixology a lot of fun and told my family the history of where the drinks came from.

Quality/Quantity - What a great find! And a nonprofit. If…read moreyou are following, we will be home (in Reno) for a few more days and want to spend more time exploring our city and neighboring cities. This has popped up (among a few other events), so we decided to visit this first. Again, what a great find. So much art in the historic buildings surrounding the other buildings and throughout the town (murals!). I took very few pictures (can you believe that, lol), as I decided to drive versus walk on this very hot day. Ambiance - Two blocks...? Not just the old brewery, but all the adjoining buildings. And the lot across the street with the stage, see pictures. Lastly, the old church... is not a church any more, lol. Free outdoor summer concerts, see website. Theater, performance hall, exhibit hall, grand ballroom, education wing, etc. Classes, membership; see websites. Small parking lot, but other than the artists, we were the only guests here, lol. Well, the rest of the parking lot is currently being used for this event. Call or check their website for hours. Service - Everyone is so welcoming. Price - Free, thank you! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1975.

Great performance by all of the actors! What an enjoyable Sunday afternoon watching art come to…read morelife through such talented individuals. I especially appreciated the nice touch at the end -- the actors taking their time during the curtain call to greet and thank all of the patrons. That made the experience even more personal and memorable. However, my first impression of the venue itself wasn't great. This was my first time visiting, and we had difficulty finding parking since it wasn't clear whether parking across by the church was allowed. We were able to find street parking and walked across. Once we arrived, we had trouble figuring out where to enter for the main stage performance. Unfortunately, the woman at the concessions counter (confections) was not helpful or friendly, which made things even more confusing. We ended up walking back and forth between buildings trying to find the correct entrance. The performance was 5-star, but the venue experience -- especially the initial interaction at the concessions counter -- was disappointing. NO stars. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future visitors.
