How cool is that!

And I also like to sip. So naturally, we walked in and signed ourselves up for a craft session the next morning. The options are truly expansive in terms of both project variety and skill level! I made a wine caddy (the shapes were pre-cut, but I sanded, assembled, and painted the finish), and the boo thang made a leather wallet. Drinks were tasty! I wasn't in the mood to drink at 11am (I'm not strong enough... yet), so I had a fizzy drink with muddled berries and mint at the bottom. I LOVE IT HERE! As they said to me upon walking in, "You don't have to craft to drink and you don't have to drink to craft," but you'll for sure have a great time :")

They were closing early that day, but to my surprise the people and the owner were very nice. They stayed open long enough to talk to me about the area , and answered any questions I had. Even gave me a few drinks on the house. The hospitality was amazing, something I'm not use to and very much appreciated. Especially after a rough year for business being closed because of the pandemic, the owner was very kind. This is a beer and shot kinda place and town, it's a very clean bar, friendly staff and people, beautiful water view. They serve food here, drinks are an awesome price, they always have entertainment or something cool going on at the bar on the weekends. A definitely must go to place , if you're ever in town. I'm definitely a returning customer. Thank you, Chad, Becky & Taylor.

We went there on a Saturday morning. Parking was very difficult to come by. There was no clear entrance. On this Saturday, there were vendors selling their wares. There were too many vendors taking up too much space. I went there to enjoy nature, not feel forced to buy things. There was a singer and guitar player who was too loud and not very good. I enjoyed walking and seeing the flowers and sculptures but there was not enough of that at this garden. Luthy Botanical Garden is too commercial and there is not enough garden.

When you enter you watch a movie (in a decommissioned machine) and learn about the history of Caterpillar through displays and artifacts like a traditional museum.
