Most don't know this but at the beginning of the year, they offer a bucket of popcorn for $25, you keep the bucket and when you bring it back to enjoy more popcorn or go to the movie, it only costs $5 to fill that same bucket!! And this can be done throughout the year with that bucket. Shown in the picture is the bucket and the popcorn. The friendly staff also put the popcorn in a baggy so we wouldn't dirty the bucket on this visit. Normally concession items are super expensive at theaters. This is a great way to really save on popcorn, at theaters theater or at your home!

It's a wider and larger screen and more crisp sound. The dream loungers are cozy for snuggling up to your partner, or for getting comfortable alone. There's plenty of space so you can escape into the movie. Also a fan of the pricing for theatre snacks. I remember when popcorn cost 13 dollars and I appreciate that Marcus keeps it under 10 for a large. Pro tip- sign up for the free rewards program. You get discounts on popcorn and snacks and get $7 movies and free popcorn on Tuesdays!

The Fireside Theatre created a truly special holiday afternoon with its Sunday matinee of A…read moreWonderful Life. The experience began with the Fireside's well-loved brunch, which felt relaxed, festive, and perfect for a Sunday outing. From fresh pastries and fruit smoothies to a generous buffet featuring chef-carved meats, Eggs Benedict, breakfast favorites, and a Bailey's Irish Cream cheesecake for dessert, brunch was a highlight all on its own. The matinee performance of A Wonderful Life captured everything audiences love about the classic story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls. The live musical stayed true to the heart of the film, celebrating kindness, community, and the reminder that every life has meaning. . The service throughout the afternoon was outstanding, and special recognition goes to Keegan, whose hard work, attentiveness, and professionalism truly stood out. Most of all, I enjoyed making a new memory with my family. The afternoon felt meaningful, joyful, and unhurried--exactly what a holiday outing should be, and one I would happily return for again.

One ordered the Steak Diane and the rest of us ordered the butterflied shrimp with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everyone enjoyed their orders along with two excellent breads; crispy crusted white and a maple nut bread that was especially tasty. The dessert was ice cream rolled in nuts with a sweet rolled wafer, and it was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. The show was a mix. At times it was fun, with upbeat songs and good jokes that landed well. At other times the humor fell flat and dialogue went low. So the rating would be a 5 for the food and venue and a 3 for the show. Will definitely be back, as it's always a good experience.

The acoustics are suited for the performance venue, and this facility plays host to many local organizations. A theatre group, the Hartford Players, the Hartford City Band, and the Hartford Community Chorus. The Ruth A Knoll theatre is a fantastic place to take in a show on the weekend. Pike's peak plays host to local art n showcase as well as a banquet hall that is available for events and weddings. Good friends of ours were married here. I was truly impressed. A great venue for a wedding and easily transferred the event upstairs for the reception. To summarize, the theater is top notch, the shows are nationally recognized acts, and for the value, this is a great venue.

Last night I attended Broadway Rox at The Schauer Center with some friends. What a great show!…read more It's amazing to see that level of talent in little Hartford, WI. The performers sang songs from many of the top broadway shows from over the last 20 or 30 years. Most of them were from very recent shows like Wicked, American Idiot, and Rent. I have attended other music and theatre performances at The Schauer Center and have always been impressed with the quality talent that they bring in. Other favorites were Late Night Catechism, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Chapter 6 an a cappella singing group. The facility itself is really cool. They did such a nice job turing an old building into an arts center, while preserving the history and look of the building. One of my best friends had their wedding reception at The Schauer Center and we all had a great time. It's such a cool building to have a wedding in.

There's no cost to stop and check it out but there is a lockbox if you want to leave a donation. It's a busy highway so be careful! Two thumbs up to the folks who put this up - it's SUPER impressive and well worth a pretty drive!

I had only been to two other raceways in my entire life, until July 10th, 2018, when I went to…read moreSlinger Speedway at the behest of a friend who is a racing buff. On that particular night, an annual racing event was taking place, the 39th Annual SUPERSEAL Slinger Nationals, a 200 lap Super Late Model race. As a quarter mile asphalt oval, the track is amazingly tiny. It takes only about eleven or twelve seconds for the cars to go one lap. (Take a look at my video). It is apparent, if you've done any type of tactical driving, that the skill level of the drivers is amazing. There were several heats prior to the main race and we saw only one minor accident. It's amazing because the speed and tight turns of the track calls for pin-point accuracy, especially considering the cars are merely inches OR LESS from each other during a race. The seating facility itself is old and worn out with bench seating, only. The spaces between the seats are VERY tight and if someone decides to attach a portable stadium seat chair, only a child could sit behind it and, at that, their knees would be crammed up. Additionally, I'm afraid that if an adult has a hard time walking or keeping their balance, the steep angle of the seating area is actually dangerous. The benches are NOT installed in stepped tiers; they are installed on angle to the hillside, only. Parking is available all around the raceway facility in empty lots and facilitated by parking attendants who direct you where to park. Parking is free. I noticed a lot of people eating popcorn, hotdogs, hamburgers and drinking beer, but I did not partake in any food or drink items while there. The race was a kick-in-the-ass. I really enjoyed it. For anyone who has never experienced a professional car race venue, this is the place to go.

I'm not normally a big racing fan but, in my opinion, Slinger is a must visit once a race season…read more This is a really fun place to go with your entire family and watch amateur racing at its best. Hell, there are even 12-year-old drivers - how can you not want to cheer them on and support their dreams. Matt Kenseth began his racing career at Slinger and he typically still races there once a year, usually against someone like Kyle Busch. The facility certainly isn't handicap friendly. I've seen wheelchairs, but I always wonder what poor soul had to push the wheelchair up the super steep incline to the seating area. That being said, there's always a good variety of food from hot dogs and icees to nachos and candy. In the past, there has been beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade for sale but, during my last visit (summer 2015), they were only selling beer. Most recently tickets were $10 and parking is free. I feel like Slinger is a pretty good deal all round. We bought my son earmuffs this summer because it was too loud for him and I still think the entire evening was less than $40 for three people. There's usually fireworks and there's often fun things like tricycle races for the kids on the track. Go to Slinger if you've never been! You'll have a blast!

First to review? How is that possible?…read more While I had some time on my own in Wisconsin, I decided to check out the Hoard Historical Museum (and National Dairy Shrine Museum). And even though I stopped by more than a few breweries in the four days I was there this stop was by far one of my favorites. First, the National Dairy Shrine Museum. I have a whole new respect for the dairy farmers after realizing how much I take for granted. For example, I never gave much thought to the fact that there are different breeds of cows. Or how much time, energy, money and science goes into their breeding. The National Dairy Shrine Museum displays not only these majestic creatures but the trophies and prizes that can be won through the dedication to the progression of the dairy farm. Upstairs there is a room of dioramas showing the history of the dairy farm and a detailed timeline along the walls. Downstairs there is a hall of fame where I learned about some of the pioneers in the field, pictures of champion cows and early equipment used in dairy farming. The Hoard Historical Museum features some great local history. There is the Lincoln room where I learned a bit about the Black Hawk War and how the Civil War affected Wisconsin. I was fascinated by the exhibit about the mounds left by early Native Americans and the efforts to preserve them. Part of the Hoard House is open as well. Very little is off limits here. You can sit in the parlor or the library and learn about the Hoard family (leaders in the field of dairy farming). Upstairs and through the kitchen I came upon a room full of taxidermy birds. Another room displayed dolls and figurines. One special room was dedicated to local poet Lorine Niedecker. Don't let this place fool you, there's more here than you might expect. I spent over two hours here and still felt rushed. The friendly and hands-on experience is always fun making this a good place for families and kids. I was greeted by Sandy and made a point of telling her how much I enjoyed the place. She was happy to hear it. I noticed several signs hanging up around the entrance for special gatherings and events held here. I also liked that many of the exhibits led to interest in other local historic places and parks. The Hoard Historical Museum seems to have a mutually beneficial relationship with the local community. Did I mention this place is free? Donations are of course accepted.
