We had Black Creek provide flowers for my daughters wedding. Susan has a definite talent for…read moredesigning beautiful and memorable arrangements. She knows her flowers and the process to grow, cut and arrange them to meet your expectations. My wife and daughter meet at Black Ridge a couple times to discuss the brides ideas and develop a plan to meet her wants. Susan also held a final meeting a couple weeks prior to the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and agree on last minute things. On the big day Susan and Tom were right on time to deliver the flowers. They went right to work putting things in the right spot and cleaning up after themselves. Now for the flowers...my wife and daughter were over the top pleased with the freshness, color, arrangement and overall beauty of the designs. The brides bouquet was a perfect size and just beautiful. The bouquet held up through all the handling and toss. The table flowers were simple and attractive. They didn't detract from the social interactions by being over sized, wide spread or in your face. They just blended nicely. The lapel flowers were very attractive as the were designed to be simple, worn close/flat to the lapel and masculine looking. The design was very innovative and attractive plus simple to pin on. The wrist corsages were simple, not fluffy or dangling, and beautiful of course. The flower girls had very attractive flower rings that were easy to manage and secure on a 5-8 year olds head. Susan also created a pair of flower arrangements that were attached to the arch behind the minister. These flowers were artificial but you would never know it. They were very attractive and blended with all the other flowers and color schemes. I would definitely recommend Black Creek for your flower needs. Susan is very talented. She listens well and works passionately to make your ideas come to life. Her husband Tom is a wonderful helper and behind the scenes guy. You will find both Susan and Tom to be very professional, friendly and customer service oriented!

Make sure if you come you listen to the instructions and understand them before getting started so you don't have any issues with your art pieces. The only thing I will caution is expect to pay a decent amount per piece. I don't believe I saw a piece less than $20, but those were small and if your younger kids are anything like mine, they will want to paint tons of them, or a really big (read expensive) one.

This is a great university with so much to offer! I have visited this campus 5 times over the past…read more5 years have loved watching it expand and grow! One thing that stands out is the way their student enrollment has grown from year to year. I think this really speaks to the quality of their programs and campus life! Not to mention, they have adjusted so well by adding new housing facilities. My experience on the campus of Trine University has been limited to Hoosier Girls State, which is a week long camp that is hosted here each year in the month of June. It is a great program, and Trine does a great job in facilitating it and giving it a place to call home! The Trine personnel, from coordinators and dining staff to residence hall maintainers, are so welcoming and willing to bend over backward for their guests. Another thing that stands out about this university is how generous they are when it comes to hosting programs, such as Hoosier Girls State for high schoolers across the state. Each year, the university offers a scholarship to each Hoosier Girls State delegate to apply to their college tuition if they choose to attend Trine University. This is unique and an outstanding gesture of this great university! I am confident life as a student at Trine University is as great as the experience I have had as a former delegate and counselor at Hoosier Girls State. I imagine it is a great place to prepare for ones future!

Every student spends a semester in another culture, usually in a third world country. I'm a grad. I spent a semester in Honduras.

GC is also a great school for the arts--music, theater, art, with two nationally recognized performing venues (Umble Center, Music Center). Strong nursing program, strong communications program, global center for anabaptism, the Mennonite Historical Library and Mennonite Archives. Technology is good. Financial Aid is generous.

I got to visit Make South Bend during one of its Makers Markets, which meant that I got to chat with some makers along with shopping. In particular, I chatted with an awesome jewelry maker. I wish I remembered her name. I bought two hammered copper necklaces from her -- two for $20 was a deal I couldn't pass up -- and she seemed so excited to be there and talk about her craft. Make hosted a soap maker, other jewelers and some paper goods from what I can remember. And the display at the front of the store really drew me in. There were a few T-shirts and tank tops that I wanted so much to take home with me. Alas, they were only available in small and 2X. I definitely plan to peak in on my next South Bend visit and see if they have more available. Make also hosts classes. If I lived in Michiana, I would definitely take advantage of these. Melton crayon art, pine cone projects, wreath making, screenprinting, laser cutting Star Wars ornaments -- I so want in! And as I told the owner, I love that she focuses on the crafts part of making, as well as more technical aspects, like laser cutting and Arduino programming. So many makerspaces only showcase technical arts; Make has a more well-rounded vision. South Bend peeps, find your inner creative at Make!
