Unfortunately the motorcycle display was underrepresented (next time go ask the A&S BMW folks to bring their collection and friends also) The only downside was the ribs. A half rack of 6 ribs cost $12 which would be o-kay if they were beef ribs but these are tiny pork ribs. Its a bit pricey but then, I don't eat ribs out much so I treated the kids and we enjoyed it anyway. Also LOVED the kids play area.

My company chose to have a booth at the Lincoln All-American City Rib Festival this year. I was…read moreglad we decided to, because it was a wonderful time. I got an opportunity to wander around the rib-fest, and despite the grey skies people were having a wonderful time. There were 5 rib vendors and wish there were more, for a rib festival I expected a few more vendors, but Lincoln is not a big metropolis and the ribs that were coming out of the smokers were tasty. Unfortunately, the most popular one (or at least the one with the biggest line and hype), seemed to have misjudged the crowd and there no racks comin' off the smoke and a 20-30 minute back log so we moved on. We went to another green-tented place and got an order of spare ribs and a side of beans for $7...an extreme value considering the heft of these spare ribs and the amount of fatty (in a good way) meat. These ribs had a wonderful smoke ring, as well as a nice char from finishing on the grill. The beans were run-of-the mill Sysco-style. They could have used more of everything, but weren't bad as a palatte clenser between mouthfuls of meat. In addition to the rib joints, were hot dog vendors, beer tents, animal shelters, solar companies, electric car dealerships, and a myriad of other crafts and booths hawking their wares. They also had the "classic" classic car show and great line up of local bands... Awesome. I have been spending more time in Lincoln recently and the town likes to show off their classic cars and music. Considering this festival is put on in a smaller town (approximately 40K people), and the junky weather, there was a terrific turn out. If you are in (or near) Lincoln next year and feel like escaping to a time where everyone in town knows each other, pack the wetnaps, grab the wife, kids, dogs, and anyone/thing else you think might like this event and hit up Lincoln for some truly, "All-American" fun at the Rib Festival.

2019 marks the 32nd year of the Annual Loomis Eggplant festival. I've been attending this small…read moretown celebration since its humble beginnings. Back in the early days it was really lacking in its namesake and was more of a craft fair than anything else. The crafts are still here, but you can now actually purchase many dishes made from eggplant. It's taken awhile to get this festival dialed-in but now eggplant lovers (and those that are eggplant-curious) can finally get their fill. Hopefully the eggplant based offerings will continue to grow each year! Not a fan of eggplant or the color purple? Well, there are still many reasons to attend: - It's a free festival with plenty of free parking (unlike those $$$ Expo events). - Bouncy stuff to keep little ones happy, free live music and entertainment, cute furry critters to pet, chalk art & a pancake breakfast (if you get there early enough). Fun facts about the Purple People Eats-it: - Eggplant make a great meat substitute and has the added benefit of being high in fiber. It does a great job of absorbing oils and flavors. Who needs that "Impossible" stuff when you've got eggplant! - No, it's not a vegetable...it's a fruit. It's also a member of the very cool (and sometimes deadly) Nightshade family!...so eating eggplant is like living on the edge (not really but tell yourself this if you want to). - The flowers and leaves of the Eggplant can be poisonous if consumed in large quantities...so don't. Just sayin' ;-)

I grew up listening to the Jonas Brothers it was my first time going to see them. There is parking across the street yes you do have to walk thru the casino to get to The Venue I didn't mind felt like I was part of this group going to a concert. After the show I did wait about 35 minutes to wait for the traffic to clear was watching shorts on YouTube etc after that it was smooth sailing. The employees I encountered were really nice to help me find my seat. I didn't get food I did have a big lunch drinks were fairly priced there I've been to others places they charge way more. Bathrooms were easy to get to I like how the stalls don't have gaps feels more private. I was in section 200 and the view was awesome worth the price. For me rather see a concert someone you love and pay little extra for good seats. I will definitely come back here and see another show. So if you want to go to a concert by yourself do it and buy the ticket it is worth the experience.

He performed at our twins' birthday party, and from start to finish, the show was absolutely incredible. This wasn't the typical "pull a rabbit out of a hat" kind of magic--it was a truly interactive, engaging, and professional performance that had over 30 children completely captivated for an entire hour. What impressed me even more was that all 150 of our adult guests were just as entertained! There were laughs, gasps, and moments where everyone was left wondering, "How did he do that?" It was one of the highlights of the entire celebration and truly a show we'll be talking about for years. If you're planning a birthday, family gathering, school event, corporate function, or any special occasion, I would recommend him without hesitation. He has an amazing way of connecting with both children and adults, making everyone feel part of the experience.

It was really cool when she began making out with her girlfriend while they sat in between each other's legs/on laps. My favorite part was when their boyfriend showed up and joined them. All three of them rubbing and kissing. Then into the pool they went and the underwater petting began. It was great. Who knew Thunder was so open to community-led sex ed!

We saw several waitresses going to all the cabanas and the loungers throughout the day. Can you guess how many times we were visited by a waitress in the 9 hours we were there? Zero! I didn't know if I should feel it was racism or what but we were never asked if we wanted something from the bar or from the kitchen. We had to get up each time and walk to the bar ourselves. I also ordered from the kitchen and we had to get up and go to the bar and pick it up ourselves. There were delivery guys who would deliver food from the kitchen to other patrons but when it came to us, we had to do it all ourselves. I'm not sure how to feel about the entire situation. Everything else was great but the whole experience put a huge damper on things.

I was at this children's and teens theatre company for years, and honestly it was one of the worst…read moreexperiences I've had. I would never recommend it to anyone looking for a positive theatre environment. In my opinion, the company cares far more about money than the kids. There are fees for what feels like everything, and parents are expected to volunteer and help with almost everything they do. It never felt like enough unless you were giving them more time or more money. The building was also often very dusty, and it didn't always feel like the healthiest environment to be spending so many hours in. The favoritism was unbelievable. I watched the same people get opportunities over and over while others who worked just as hard were constantly overlooked. I was there for years and never got a role that reflected the amount of effort I put in, which made it feel like talent and dedication didn't matter nearly as much as being one of the favorites. There was also constant drama, and from my experience, people would get pulled into private rooms and be accused of things they didn't do without feeling like they were given a fair chance to explain themselves. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere where people were scared of getting in trouble over rumors or misunderstandings. I also found it very unprofessional that staff members would speak negatively about students behind their backs. Hearing adults who are supposed to support children gossiping and saying hurtful things about them was incredibly disappointing. Overall, I left feeling like this company had serious issues with favoritism, professionalism, communication, and how they treated students. In my opinion, the only reason it continues to be successful is because it has a large budget and strong financial support, not because it provides a good experience for its performers. Based on my own experience over several years, I would strongly encourage parents and young performers to look into other theatre companies before choosing this one.

Tomorrow evening I am very excited to attend their summer production of Disney's The Little Mermaid! They cast fairly and they cast talented kids, teens, and adults for parts, depending on the show. There is an emphasis on quality and professionalism, but also on fun, learning, and inclusiveness. I just LOVE that about McLaughlin Studios! Not only do they do full Main Stage Productions at McLaughlin, but they also offer Junior Musical Programs and Mini Musical Production Workshops for all ages. The owners have been in business for decades and have a very extensive resume to boot. They like to give back in a phenomenal way, and often you will find fundraisers and local vendors when you visit for shows. I love coming to shows at McLaughlin and supporting the Loomis Community! A note about parking: It will fill up if you do not arrive early for theatrical productions! There is plenty of street parking on Swetzer Road if this happens.
