As we drove by the Goggleworks building on a visit to see my son, he mentioned that it was known…read morefor its arts programs and we should check it out. I visited the Goggleworks website (www.goggleworks.org) and was impressed with the options available. Via email, I inquired with my questions and was answered immediately. We ultimately chose a private glassblowing session. Remember when you are choosing to partake in these artisanal sessions, you are paying for the artisan's expertise and sharing of knowledge . So at first glance, it may seem pricey. However, given the experience as a whole, it does NOT disappoint! Our instructor Andrew was awesome! His energy and passion matched our excitement. He made our experience so much more fun with his anecdotes about the glassblowing. He explained everything in detail; we never felt rushed or uncomfortable about our skill level. There were four of us in our glassblowing session. He expertly guided us in the best artisan experience I have ever had. For our glassblowing class, we all chose to make drinking glasses. Each of us chose different color palettes to match our varying personalities. Of course, due to the nature of glassblowing, it was a very HOT experience but we were dressed accordingly and hydrated throughout. After we each had our turn, our glasses were immediately placed in a temperature-controlled device (I can't remember its name) to slowly cool the glass down and prevent cracking. We were not permitted to take the glasses home but rather had to come back another day to pick them up. After our session, we headed back to the main Goggleworks building to check out the art exhibits, gift store, and (what I'll call) the artist alley of artisans' work spaces and offices. We spent lots of time enjoying the space and speaking with varying artists. Turns out that the space is a former goggles factory that was used back in the 1800s and the space takes great care in preserving its history. It's soooo cool. It was truly enjoyable!! I highly recommend Goggleworks! This is one of my most memorable experiences!! I can't wait to see our glasses. Note: We arrived early to have breakfast at the onsite cafe, Thorn Alley Kitchen (see separate Yelp review for more details).

Well, the first thing you do is find an awesome wedding coordinator! Kaci and her team made our only daughter's wedding flawless, beautiful, and so easy to enjoy! All of Kaci's recommendations were spot on. All the vendors Kaci recommended were fantastic. Kaci and her team had a huge role in making this an event to be remembered. We had a few instances during the reception that required personal attention, but it didn't require my personal attention or that of the father of the bride or that of the bride because - - Kaci and Christine were there from start to finish! Kaci, thank you so very much for everything you and Simple Soirée did for Katie and Liam's wedding. From your helpful suggestions, to embracing all of the children in the wedding (of which there were four and three of them were my grandchildren) we had no distractions or cares. From lending a blanket and diapers (one thing we forgot - but Michele had!) to fixing boutonnières and dress hooks - you were there! Kaci, you and Christine provided more than coordination. You had a care for us as a family - not just another event. Your professionalism and calming presence were very much appreciated by myself and the bride! Our daughters wedding would not have been so successful if we didn't have Kaci and her team. Thank you again Kaci! Simple Soiree is simply wonderful!

WTF! That's all I can say about what went down here back in January…read more You know those jokes which refer to Pennsylvania as Pennsyltucky or something like Pennsylvania being Philly on one side, Pittsburgh on the other with Iowa in between? Well, in that vain, welcome to Cedar Rapids when coming to the Valley Expo Center in Lebanon. Some sickos in my family decided it would be a good idea to see the cultural smorgasbord that is BOLOGNAFEST 2017 which apparently takes place annually at the Expo Center in January. Now remember, this is not the Festival in Bologna which takes place every April in Italy. No, this is I shit you not, a one day festival it rural PA devoted to that great smoked lunch meat Lebanon Bologna. Don't know what Lebanon Bologna is? Read on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon_bologna The set up is simple. Pay entrance fee (yes to the four of you who read my drivel, you need to pay for awesome privilege of entering the festival) then enter the festival which has two main rooms of stuff going on plus a few extras. Extras: Some students from the Lebanon Career and Technology Center had some small ice carvings outside the main entrance. They were pretty cool to look at and it sure as hell was cold enough outside for the ice to more than last the entire day. The main hallway was solicitation central. Every local area bank, insurance company, roofer, etc. had a booth trying to push their product or service. Room 1: Was set up for the 2nd annual Cornhole Tournament. Don't know what Cornhole is? Read on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhole Room 2; A giant cornucopia of crap. This room had small inflatables for the younger kids to play on. Some small games of chance for both kids to play. A guy that brought some snakes to touch. Multiple food vendors hawking everything from a local Lutheran Church bringing soup, to a small Lancaster based candy company to various Lebanon Bologna offerings from various companies including Seltzer culminating with the stomach curdling Lebanon Bologna Fried Corndog on a Stick! (Charge to 200! Clear! Beep! Thump!) Pardon me but I had a heart palpitation just typing that let alone the thought of actually eating one. This room also had a stage with different acts during the day such as a juggler, a karate group, a live animal show, a beer & wine tasting but the crowning moment of course was the Bologna Eating Contest! The contestants were given a stack of Lebanon Bologna sandwiches and to win they simply had to shovel down the most within the allotted time. The $250 first place winner with something like ten or eleven sandwiches inhaled was Jack "Snack Jack" Diamond who I believe is a competitive eater having won this competition before and having competed and won other competitions such as the Newark Delaware Spud Bowl, the Mount Joy PA Rib Competition and the TNT Deli Fat Bastard Eating Contest in St. Clair PA. Overall I think we stayed two hours give or take and by that point, it was more than enough. If you want to go (Oh Boy!), apparently this thing takes place annually in January and is a only held for one day on a Saturday with this years version going from 10-8. Admission is suppose to be $4 per adult with kids 12 and under getting in for free but somehow or other when we bought a raffle ticket to win ?? they waived the admission cost. You've been warned.
