The staff was pleasant and gave me the lay of the land with it being my first time there. I liked that they have a floor dedicated to student art ! The top floor was the main exhibit which was the Elizabeth Catlett artwork from the collection of Samella Lewis. It was beautifully curated and the fact that I was the only person there made it a breeze to get all the pics I wanted. Took maybe less than an hour to get through all 3 floors. I would definitely come back to check out their special exhibitions!

Typically it's the same staff/vendors every year so you can really get familiar with the people and what they offer. Everyone is always pretty nice (of course there will be some bad apples) and all the events are organized well so there isn't much confusion or chaos for people who aren't very settled in to the event. It can be hot so a lot of people tend to go out night for the best experience if you're looking to ride rides. But most livestock events are held during the day; depends on what you're into. This event is sure to bring fun and a good time to whoever comes, and I would definitely recommend a few days of it to anyone.

Deanna's music is great and deserves her own review, but this is simply about the venue. The Schwartz Center is without a doubt the most under utilized gem in the state capital! The theater is simply beautiful inside and out, the acoustics are wonderful, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The lighting is professional and very well done. (Had to throw in a note for my buddy John Moller!) I do wish they would bring in more well known acts, but not enough tickets are sold to make it worth while. Dover residents need to wake up and realize they have an alternative to traveling to Wilmington, Easton, and Philadelphia.

The great acoustics provided a fantastic show. Echoes of a Prophet was quite a surprise and truly echoed the great Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. The jazz bands were great with a lot of talented students. I thought the seats could have been slightly more spacious but that is to be expected in an auditorium. I enjoyed my visit to the Schwartz Center which is a wonderfully decorated facility with a lot of charm and look forward to another great show when I am in Delaware.

My husband has been to a couple of Firefly Music Festivals and was familiar with the scene. It is a multi-genre festival and one of the largest festival in the US. People usually camp out for the 4-day event. During the day, the bands that play are a bit lowkey whereas at night, the band/singers are concert-like and wild but its a great time! The sound bass coming through the speakers for every singer was spectacular. Overall an amazing experience!

I wish we'd had enough time and energy for a full day visit, so we could properly convey all that…read morethe Arboretum has to offer, but we were limited to a half day following the "Flight to Freedom" walk while we followed both Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass' historical paths, a joint program of the arboretum and local historians to try to sort of simulate the outdoor challenges of escaping enslaved persons. As such, and in early spring, our appreciation was limited to one trail and the amenities around the visitor center, but our appreciation and admiration for the Adkins for even this bare introduction to the extensive grounds is nevertheless deep just from the one visit and left us eager to return on another day to explore the rest of the trails. The front desk person was lovely and kind, and oriented us after we explained why we were there. (The admission price here is tiny; I recommend donating a little extra on top of it. It's a great bargain either way.) They have these old-school mini-walkmen-style audio guides that were helpful but which badly need to be updated to the 3rd decade of the 21st century. They're hard to navigate and harder to hear. Having a borrowed audio guide feels like something from the 1950s; why not just make it available on cell phone, with the text available online or via an app? That was the one clumsy part of the Flight to Freedom path-- only one person at a time could listen to the very low volume on the headphones. While we speculate perhaps they thought this approach would preserve the quiet for other visitors, perhaps a simple imprecation to keep volume low on cell phones would suffice...? I can't think of a good reason not to make the jump to current museum practice. (That plus it's not very disability-friendly if you're hearing impaired or have fine motor problems.) When we could hear it, the audio guide was excellent, including the "bonus" tracks of first person escapee narratives. The content only needs a better delivery mechanism. The arboretum itself was quite alive -- we saw a heron in the woods, ID'd about 20 different species of birds in total either by sight or with Merlin, ran across a blooming hawthorne that was simply riotous with honeybees merrily sucking nectar out, and enjoyed the early blooms. It was a fun time, where one can see through the underbrush but also see the buds and early leaves and many blossoms out. There were also some programs for young children going on, and it's very gratifying to see the place alive with visitors. The little gift shop is fun, and while there's no café (one can understand why) it would be very tempting to bring a picnic, which I suspect (but do not know) is frowned upon. The inviting water feature out front with the signature chairs was a nice place to stop and rest, while we listened to the frogs croaking and somehow avoided early season insect pests.

I went because…read morealthough my normal experience with NASCAR is watching on tv the start of a race, falling asleep on my favorite chair and waking up in time to watch the finale, I wanted to see what it's like in person at least once in my life. Although exciting, and the overall experience I had was outstanding, a good part of actually watching the race, to me, was somewhat boring. I didn't end up sleeping in the stands but almost did, and I did catch my brother with his eyes closed. There were about three or four cautions during the race not including the stages or competition caution, and they were for cars that went loose into the wall, or a piece of equipment on the track. Nothing special or spectacular but the one car did catch on fire. Thankfully no one was injured or seriously hurt. It was amazing to see the top cars in this particular race who were on point really take command of the track. The first car that got a lap down was on lap 13 according to my brother. Although COVID rules were being advised, and you needed to wear your mask to get into the track, no one was wearing them once in the stands. It was a mix of on or off when walking around, and wearing when in line to get food or use the bathroom. The facility did not sell all seats so there was space and I was glad they did not sell all the seats to do so. They were offering vaccination shots, so that's pretty cool. They were also giving out free masks. All staff were wearing their masks the whole time. The fan zone included food, clothing, a car show, the military, other car and tire company demos and games to play. I won some stress ball tires and low end tire gauges, and also got a free t-shirt. I loved that you were allowed to bring in your own food and drink as long as you followed their requirements. A hell of a lot of people were tailgating, and my brother hooked up into a cornhole game. Everyone was extremely friendly and well behaved in the stands and also outside in the lots and fan zone. I highly recommend bringing ear protection. Again BRING EAR PROTECTION. I took out my earphones for the last five laps, and I was dumbfounded at how loud the race really is with the sound reverberating off the massive aluminum stands. We were in the last (top) row (46) of the Allison stands and had a perfect view of the whole track. I'd also bring sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen. If you have can headphones, bring them. You could also rent scanners which I did not do, but they would have been helpful. $96 each for the tickets, $10 parking, brought our own food, and an awesome day with family. Was almost a little more expensive when my brother lost his Apple AirPod at the top of the stands, but luckily a fan a row down found it before it dropped to the ground. Congrats to Alex Bowman who won, and did it all after taking the lead during an outstanding pit stop jumping two places to get it. He then held it to the end.
