The Keg Fest of Ales is a really great beer festival!…read more Aside from it being across the river in Southern Indiana, here are some of the highlights: -It is a bit spread out. There is some breathing room and on various levels in and around the amphitheater. -They allow chairs in so you can sit and enjoy your brews in some shade. -An awesome, varied selection of beers! -They have a SOUR TRUCK! And entire station dedicated to sour beers. Bless you, Fest of Ales. BLESS YOU!! And thank you. As long as the weather isn't the literal worst, attending this event with be pretty wonderful! They always have a great selection of beers, several food trucks and a bunch of sponsor/non-beer vendor booths to break up the afternoon. A notable thing about this festival is that you don't get a tally card for how many drinks/samples you can get. I *actually* think this encourages more responsible drinking! You just taste what you want as you want it. People aren't rushing to get all the drinks they can get and fill out their tasting sheet! I have been to several different beer festivals, and it seems like it is often a race and challenge to 'complete' your card. Somehow....doing away with the cards might have helped! At least, my experience with the people around me is that they seemed more sober. It is a fun reason to cross the river, get your drink on, and be reminded that New Albany is a pretty cute lil' town!

Recently having moved to New Albany, I have been trying to explore this charming town. I have been…read morefinding that New Albany hosts some great events such as this one. The Keg Fest of Ale took place at the Riverfront Amphitheater which offers Indiana's view of the Ohio River. It was a nice warm day and there were were occasional breezes which felt great while sipping beer, listening to music, and walking down the riverfront. I have been to many beer festivals before and I have to say this was one of my favorite ones. The view by the river, the spread out festival tents was a nice break from being cramped up next to people who maybe have had too much to drink, and the company I had was really really nice. Plus there was a Yelp booth there of course and Kasen and Kathy were manning it so major yay! There were over 200 breweries there and some new tappings which led to long lines but surprisingly all the lines moved quickly. All a result of the festival being spread out so that's a major plus. So much beer. I tried. I really did try. But I doubt I even tried half of the beers that were offered there. I did get to try some favorites there and I tasted a lot of new ones. I love craft beers and the amazing creative names that breweries come up with. Some of the names just draw you in so hey it works. I especially recall liking a summer shandy from a Northern Michican brewery called Shorts. I tried seeing if this was available at a liquor store after the event but it was not. I hope this company expands as it was one of my favorites out of all the beers I sampled. This event is one I'll have to plan to go to each year. And hey it's for charity! Beer and charity. Enough said. Any other reasons to wonder if this even is worth it? Okay well they also have some food trucks and this year they had one which sold tater tots. I immediately respect any place who offers tater tots, bringing a classic nostalgic food item into an only adult festival. The tater tots took me back to elementary school which was such an easy fun time. Except there wasn't beer. So tater tots and beer combined, AMAZING (Spongebob voice) experience! Seriously, everything about this festival was great. The weather, the company I was with, the food, the event location, and I love how this event didn't have to deal with any vouchers or punch cards. It was just pay, get a wristband and drink whatever you choose. SO much easier than other events, especially after having tasted a dozen or so beers. At this least in this event it's just a matter if you can hand over your event tasting glass and ask for whatever beer you want to sample. I give this event a big 5 stars. Great event in New Albany, Indiana. Already looking forward to next year!

I had originally heard about this play Titanic: the Musical from a friend of a friend from social…read moremedia. I had never knew Theatre Works of Southern Indiana existed before but was curious to check it out since New Albany has been revitalizing its main street businesses. The #SoIn movement is in! I honestly didn't know what I was expecting when I bought the tickets. I figured, it's one Friday that I never have off so I may as well attend a theatre show for some entertainment. The building is situated right on main street adjacent to Gospel Bird (hint hint, hit this eatery up for some pre show eats!) and is very easy to find. There are many public parking spaces to find and it's just a short 3 minute walk to the theatre. The space is VERY small. It is an older, historic building that has some art deco themes running through it and is rich and full of eye candy with the architecture. They somehow make the space work. My first thought was how they were going to put on a production such as Titanic: the Musical, the grandest, largest ship, in such a small space. Answer: They are theatre and stage hand geniuses! All the built in spaces that they utilized throughout the play amazed me. The performers varied in age and all were absolutely amazing, their voices, singing, and acting were all spot on. The staff was superb! Everyone was friendly and very inviting. When you walk into the theatre to be seated you have the option of preordering a treat/dessert that is served at intermission. Intermission allows for the second floor to be opened where there are restrooms, a large gathering area, and refreshments that are available for purchase. There was a bar open on the first floor before the show and a bar open on the second floor during intermission. I am so glad I ventured out on this whim of a curiosity purchase became I love any type of theatre and this one specifically is an inclusive, non-profit theatre company. Theatre Works of Southern Indiana really works with local artists, performers, and technicians to be able to bring this amazing cultural experience to a part of downtown New Albany. I think it is a great addition to the #SoIn experience! I will definitely be looking into season ticket purchases as they are decently priced! Great experiences and such a great performance! The cast from the show even stayed outside to meet with the patrons!

It was perfect because they had exactly seven stations, so each of us had our own the entire time. The guy there gave us a very thorough orientation and demonstration. He even took the time to make sure each one of us had the equipment on just right in order to optimize the experience. It was a very good "social distanced" experience if that's something you are concerned with because each of us had our own 10 foot by 10 foot room separated from each other. However, we were all able to talk over Discord and play games and meet up in these virtual worlds! It was such a fantastic experience!!! It's really weird how your body thinks it feels things you see when actually you are standing in the same 10-foot box the entire time! I highly recommend the "Ritchie's Plank Challenge" and pick the rocket blaster where you can fly around the world and do an obstacle course. It is the weirdest feeling and super thrilling!!!! We rented all seven stations for one hour and wish we had rented it for 90 min or even two hours because there is so much to explore and experience. We are DEFINITELY going back! If you want to try something fun with your friends and tired of the same old thing like seeing a movie or going bowling... this is great to try! It's sooooo different... sooo amazing... soooo immersive... it's hard to come back to the real world because in that world you can fly and do cool things (without the worry of getting hurt LOL). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We will be back for sure!!!!

When we entered the building they had a historical video playing. They took us through a quick tour of the whole building, then brought us back to the start to explore on our own. We had lots of rich paranormal activity through flashlights and the Estes method. My sister's roomate saw a shadow figure. All four of us heard voices in the body chute, but nobody was at the bottom. In another part of the building is also a haunted house and an escape room, but we didn't do any of that.

Paranormal treasure [Louisville KY]…read more Hubby wanted to do this tour when he learned that it was located in Louisville. I tried booking online thru Eventbrite but all tours that weekend were fully booked. I decided to give it a shot and called them. They were able to squeeze us in the first tour of the evening which was 9:00p. We arrived 15 mins early as instructed and made our way inside the gothic building. As many other curious visitors of Waverly Hills we were in search of history, architecture and the paranormal. There was a sign posted inside as we were registering: "This establishment is reported to be Haunted. Management is NOT responsible and cannot be held liable for any actions of any Ghosts/Spirits on these premises." www.theRealWaverlyHIlls.com Background: Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a former tuberculosis hospital in Louisville KY. TB was widespread in the area, resulting in a waiting list to stay at the sanatorium. Despite its name, Waverly Hills was not a mental hospital; a sanatorium is any institution that provides treatment and convalescence for chronic illnesses. Our tour guide was a member of the Historical Society. The experience included a guided tour where we were lead, at least partially, across all 5 floors and we also had the chance to look down the body chute. Waverly Hills has a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America and has been featured on ghost hunting shows as "Ghost Hunters," "Ghost Adventures," "Paranormal Lockdown," and "Buzzfeed Unsolved." There were some 30 of us in the tour... the historical stories shared with us were interesting and cool but I did not feel any of the following: full grabs, see shadows, apparitions, or shadow people, feel permanent residents walking up to people, taps, temp changes-cold spots, or hotspots, heard screams, footsteps nor door slamming. Too many people on our tour but I can't complain because we were just lucky to get in as extras. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is on the National Register of Historic Places for both its significance historically, as well as the architectural significance of the building. Review #3911

Simply put, Huber's is a machine, a well-oiled machine…read more My wife grew up visiting Huber's several times a year for Christmas trees, pumpkins, fresh produce, and just about everything else the farm has to offer. When she moved me up here many years ago, one of the first places she took me was Huber's. We've been back countless times over the years, and it never disappoints. Our latest visit included my nephew, his new wife, my niece, and her 10-year-old son. My niece-in-law is from New York City and had never experienced life on a farm. (Last year, we took her to pet a horse for the first time!) So when she wanted to go peach and apple picking, Huber's was the obvious choice. Let's just say she and my 10-year-old great-nephew absolutely loved riding the trams and picking fresh fruit. My nephew and niece enjoyed themselves too, even though they both grew up on a farm in Georgia. My wife and I took a more relaxing approach, sampling some of Huber's excellent adult beverage offerings while enjoying the live band. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. All in all, Huber's once again lived up to its reputation as one of the best family destinations around. It offers something for everyone, whether you're looking for fresh produce, family activities, live music, or a great place to unwind. I normally end my reviews by saying, "I'll be back." With Huber's, it's never a question of if--only when. Halloween is just around the corner, and we'll be looking for pumpkins.

Add to the fact that the nearby parking garage raised parking rates from $5 to $10 for an event in which we were there an hour and came back empty handed doesn't help. Although there were plenty of food booths(we didn't see the Boy Scout booth that sells roasted corn this year) there was literally no empty tables and getting a booth inside a restaurant was impossible.
