I took an adult watercolor class for three sessions in December. I signed up for this class because…read moreI am familiar with watercolor but I wanted more ideas, tips, and techniques to improve my skills. For the first session, we had a sub for the class and she seemed apprehensive on how to lead the class. The two hours consisted of us essentially having free time to paint and a few basic brush movements. The second class was then led by the main instructor who seemed more confident and taught us basic skills such as painting wet on wet, dry on dry, etc, however this should've been done the first week. Additionally, the supplies we were given were not great, most of the paints we were given were out of certain colors and we were given a small number of papers and had to request for more if needed, which felt unnecessary. After she went over these ideas, she let the class go on Pinterest and choose a painting they'd like to replicate. She would walk around and give positive praise, however, did not offer feedback or various ideas on how to improve the painting. I love the concept and idea of this class, however, I'm disappointed this felt more like a free paint time rather than an instructional class for paying almost $200.

My kids cousins loved art garage- so we decided to pair up and go to the same class…read more So here is the deal - they offer discrete before lunch and after lunch options. So what happened to us was that we could get our oldest into both before and after lunch programs but we couldn't get our youngest in both. Why? Because they sold out some of the afternoon? I think a business like this would schedule full day over 1/2 days.... Of course they were completely inflexible as far as the youngest kid. "You can join waitlist" "And if i don't get in you would allow me to cancel the other?" "No. " Seriously? You would stick me to a camp i couldn't get him home for? Whatever ... Then we were less than impressed with an afternoon teacher. Both my son and cousins referred her as "mean" "What is mean" "Like if you missed a step and asked a question, she would snap "ask another student" I did contact art garage and what I didn't get was so much as an apology just "I'll talk to teacher" and "appreciate your feedback". And even an excuse around the line of "self reliance" No being yelled at by a teacher to talk to ask other students makes people feel belittled and stupider than their classmates. Obviously not qualified to work with kids. This was the only bad camp experience this year. Though they did appreciate my feedback - so I'll assume they will appreciate this review.

There's free parking in front of the center building. The restrooms were clean and the staff friendly. Printed trail maps and flyers for bird field guides and monthly calendar activities were available at the center. The trail was sandy and had educational signs posted at certain points explaining what to see such as the wetland, birds, flowers, and Prairie dogs, etc. There were rest areas with wooden seats along the trails. I went when it had recently rained so there were areas that were muddy and buggy. I think going early morning or late afternoon would be more enjoyable. The center advertises as a hands on experience in nature for a school trip or group.

Caucasian coaches are allowed to not follow Gold Crown rules and when shown video evidence of these disparities, their Sports Program Director, Mark Rusch, decides to "not allow" me to continue to volunteer as coach instead of addressing the disparities. My initial interaction with Mr. Rusch, following another instance of disparate treatment, was marked by his unprofessional demeanor. He addressed me in a condescending manner, wagging his finger in my face and lecturing me about service while having zero clue about my commitment to serving my community(the fact that I was already volunteering my time wasn't enough). All the while, as I was being talked to like a toddler, I addressed him in a professional manner, addressing him as sir and responding to his questions with "yes sir." Their executive director and his brother(also employed by gold crown) coach teams and allow their children to play dirty. The refs overlook their players but give the opposing teams technical fouls for defending themselves after being body checked twice. Referees are advised to pay increased attention to minority coaches due to the perception that we're more inclined to be a problem. This non-profit organization, which compensates its director over $200,000 annually, as revealed in their most recent tax filings, has a history of racial discrimination that they attempt to conceal and dismiss. Upon reviewing their website, it is evident that Gold Crown's decision-making staff lacks minority representation. This absence, particularly in a sport with the highest minority participation in the state, serves as compelling evidence suggesting that Gold Crown does not take diversity seriously and lacks the ability to have at least one impartial and representative voice on their team.

We just used this organization for the 2nd time, moving across the city. They handled all of our furniture and boxes with care and were fast!

The leader of our move spent some time telling us about how TOS has changed his life. He's 21, so articulate, truly turning his life around, he's going to go so far. I'm so impressed with the program and am so happy to support them. Keep up the amazing work!!

Abilene awards is your place to go to get your engraving, or printing on materials services done right .

I don't know where all of their funding comes from, specifically, but they say a lot of private donors, including visitors like us! :) The walkway you walk on during the visit is pretty cool, just because you can see from a unique perspective that a regular "zoo", which is from above! In the sunny Colorado weather, it does get hot. It also might be windy up there, so as you should anywhere in the state, bring layers! I hope they can expand the walkway and make it a big loop instead of an in-and-out. They have little places to stop along the way and a small cafe at the end before you head back. Definitely try the local CO ice pops they have in the cooler, they are so good and much better than anything you'll buy in a chain grocery store. We saw lions, tigers, bears, foxes, wolves -- some of them just laying/sleeping. The black bears I didn't realize got along so well that one enclosure could house around 20 of them. One bear was enjoying the pool, lol. There's a video to watch before going on the journey and it explains how when animals first arrive, they start in a smaller space to get acclimated and eventually grow into a larger long-term space. It makes perfect sense. These poor animals ruined by humans. They said a lot of the "Tiger King's" tigers they've taken in, as well. So don't pay to pet those baby tigers anymore, y'all, you are literally ruining their adult lives (the majority of their lives). In the main building at the start, there is also another cafe, an ice cream shop (I got some, yum!), and a gift shop. Please give them a visit!

I couldn't be happier with my experiences at Yellowdog. Not only were they the cheapest quote by…read morefar for my job, but they were fast, the final product looks AMAZING, and there are three actual yellow dogs at the store, so you've got a good chance of petting at least one (if that's your thing. It is very much my thing to pet cute dogs). We needed to have our wedding table map printed, so it was a fairly simple but SUPER important (to us) job. We shopped around and got price quotes from 2-3 places, and Yellowdog was the cheapest but also the speediest with their reply. Once we told them we wanted to proceed, they started immediately and emailed us when it was ready to pick up. The whole thing was seamless and, again, puppers in the lobby. I wish I still lived in Denver, because I have tons of stuff printed at the big chains back in DC and it is always a pain and so expensive. Yellowdog made things easy and did a fabulous job--and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The storefront is kind of behind the Home Depot so use your GPS as it's easy to miss.

I've counted on them on multiple occasions, most recently for my artwork I sold as a vendor at my booth at Goldens in Golden. My account manager was Tina, who was so helpful, accommodating, and patient. I had a little health emergency in the middle of the week I promised my deliverables, and she bent over backwards to help me out, working alongside me with another vendor I was working with to get my products finished and completed for my deadline. On top of all that, their paper recommendations were excellent and the printing quality was top notch. Their pricing is competitive and I love that I can personally pick it up, see proofs, and talk to a human being and not a chat bot. AND, there are dogs to pet when you go in. So, DUH. I will absolutely use them again and again. Thank you, YellowDog!
