We recently acquired a art for our family room and knew when purchasing it as oil painting on canvas stretched on frames the pieces needed floating frames. A bit of quick online research and a few phone calls, indicated the size of both of these pieces wasn't something most businesses couldn't assist with providing frames because of their large format. Our first call to Colbert Custom Framing, Jakob answered, he confidently told us they could frame our newly acquired art. He didn't disappoint, his expert eye and the framers skill and in a few weeks we had exactly what we dreamed of. Yes, there are many places to have treasures framed, but, please visit Colbert Custom Framing, you will be glad you did. Ask for Jakob.

Fees are by annual membership. Coffee and snacks served. I like the special interest groups that meeting for an hour before the general meeting. The one I attend is devoted to classic hand tools and is an open discussion with frequent instructive demonstrations. The only drawback to this club is that it has no facility for hands-on learning. None of the Chicago area clubs do. Clubs in some other cities have this, but it is rare and more expensive to the member. As an offset, this club offers occasional weekend seminars that may or may not require fees, depending on the topic.

There were a lot of kids, but also some older groups of adults, so it felt like a mix for all ages. It was pretty busy, so we were in and out of some games, but we were able to circle back around and try them again. Everything moved fast enough that it didn't feel too frustrating. Honestly, it was a really fun outing. It was $27 per person for an hour, which felt pretty worth it for the amount of games and the overall experience.
