I am a Big with BBBS, so I know firsthand what a good organization it is, and how important that fundraisers like Beerfest are for our community. Soapbox aside, Beerfest is fun. Take a group of friends and enjoy an afternoon of beer tasting and nice people. Parking is easy, but they have cab services available if you need it. There are tons of booths from local and major craft breweries, and everything is free (yes, even the amazing salted caramel ice cream with bourbon candied bacon from Buckinghams...swoon). There are reps at every booth to help you discover new beers or learn how to make your own. The Homebrew Zoo has a large booth full of homebrewers that are proud to share their knowledge and let you try their creations. You can get a VIP ticket for a little more, which gives you collector glasses and early entry. Cops are meandering around, so everyone behaves. It's not a big sloppy drunkfest--there are no fights or loud people, so don't let an all day beerfest scare you away! It's worth it!

This is a regional Beer Fest that charges exorbitant admission prices and DOES NOT offer reduced…read moreadmission for designated drivers (would be easily identifiable through special wristbands/stamps). Aside from being a poor business practice, it is irresponsible when considering the dangers of drinking and driving. I doubt I will be returning next year.

KID friendly but not necessarily disabled friendly. The ground is uneven and rocky. At 12:30, the lines in front of most of the trucks have dozens and dozens of people lined up in front. It's windy and cool so the weather has cooperated greatly. Bring cash, most places don't seem to take credit cards. We've been to many food festivals, very impressed by the reasonable food prices. A good overall experience!

I hate the Cardinals and anything they touch or own. Still, this place is outstanding…read more Seriously, I'm an AL guy (Rangers) but sitting amongst Cardinals loyals was fun. The stadium is wonderful, as are its employees. Interestingly, the hometown fans were also pretty cool -- unlike their Yankees counterparts. ;-) The worst part of my experience here was getting into the car after the game and learning that my wife bought $75 in Cards gear. Go figure. Tickets here are reasonable. Concessions are likely to give you a virus. It's no different than most other venues. If you live nearby, this home team is a must. If you're traveling, make it a point to stop here. I wasn't quite turned into a Cardinals guy, but my experience here made it damn hard to hate them.

Rare gem right off Park Central Square, a must go.

Secondly the games of every type from our love, pool at $5 an hour, to pinball, skeet ball, basketball, you name it, then golf! The ambiance everything. We are a newly retired couple a decade apart, and found a spot for all ages, including our college aged daughter who beat us to this establishment from MSU. For downtown it does not get any better. Fun, food, fabulousness. The best pizza, pizza, pizza, wings, and ice cold beer, heck yeah. Affordable, thought the owner had made a mistake as like so rarely affordable. Now let's talk about the owner, Collin, he was kind, cool, generous, gracious, humble and as we went at an off hour we had the pleasure to get to know him. One of Springfield's finest imo of living here 40 years nearly. The owner can make it or break it, he rocks it. We hope to go back every week as this is a special place, almost hate to share--but my job is to write real talk reviews. I'm going to try every big slice this summer! Now you try.

Bought tickets online and it stated the doors opened at 6 pm and show starts at 7 pm. Got there at 6:15 pm and were about 150 -200 ft from the entrance in line. It took till 7:15 to get to the door, in the rain. When we got to the door, we asked why the line was moving so ridiculously slow. They stated they were checking ID's. Its an all ages show. Instead of scanning tickets (the ones with the barcode), they were looking it up by name. Then, they stated anyone under 21 had to pay a $5 minor charge! No mention of this on the website, tickets or venue info. Just an outright money grab. Could have made some points up by foregoing the $5 and saying sorry we made you wait in the rain for an hour and miss the beginning of the show. Instead, we got attitude from the meat head working the counter. Be aware that this was a Christian music concert, so between sets the venue blared gangster rap with vulgar lyrics, knowing full well there were children in the crowd. Just absolutely classless. Won't be returning to this venue.

Have you ever noticed that most small towns have that one place that stands out above the rest?…read moreThat one place that makes you want to stop and stay awhile? In Ozark, Mo., that one place is the Stained Glass Theatre (SGT), with its beautiful courtyard and welcoming atmosphere. The volunteers greet you with a smile, and the heartwarming chapel reminds me of sitting in an old country church. And on top of that, you have the fabulous set designs, the amazingly talented cast, and the outstanding backstage crew that brings it all together; it's a perfect place to spend your time. However, I think the best thing about SGT is that you can feel Jesus there. Their motto is "Serving Christ Through The Arts," and I can't imagine a better way to tell people what they stand for. In addition, they put on faith-based shows that are family-friendly, so you can feel comfortable there whether you are on a date, watching with your spouse and kids, your church group, or your parents. If you haven't been to Stained Glass Theatre, you're missing out. They change shows throughout the year, so grab yourself a season pass and enjoy it all year long. Trust me when I say you will be glad you did. You can check it out for yourself on their website: https://www.sgtheatre.com/.
