Cards and gifts stolen throughout the evening and no follow through, empathy or apologies from event center. (They did now put in cameras. Make sure they are operating) Review your contract to make sure you are not over charged for beverages/beer not served. Make sure your guests are aware of all complimentary beverages from the bar. They do not promote or acknowledge them to your guests. This was experienced personally and by many family members and guests. Make sure that your guests are charged consistently and getting credit for what the drink tickets are actually worth. Employees family members are not invited guests with their children and stay through the entire event?? Make sure your guests are safe we had an unfortunate incident and security was questionable at the hands of those locking up. There were many pieces to the contract not met that were spoken, broken doors, areas not repaired, groomed as promised by event center manager. Bar manager rude to our kind guests and families of the couple. Wgtn needs the event center we are certain there are good staff there. When we posted "we need your help" (for info on stolen cards and gifts) on their site one manager posted a laughing emoji. Also posted negative comments of the couple on FB then removed. Private messages sent to family of couple. Unprofessional and inappropriate. We also had as parents of the bride had no suite?? I personally confirmed it 2x. What was to be a most special, blessing and day of love, still brings sadness and yes still blessed. Other couples reached out privately to let us know of their poor/some of the same experiences'as well. Many of the same, but never reported. Wgtn Event Center~ who ever manages your center and managers... Wgtn deserves better, as did our children. The day ceremony still special and beautiful but some clouds over some of our joy. Beautiful place and much needed. It took awhile to do this but it needs to be shared so it does not happen to anyone else. Thank you

The setting and surroundings of Olson Park are absolutely fantastic!…read more I tell ya...for just quickly visiting and hanging out here for a couple of hours, this Olson Park was so well maintained! I'll say it again, lol, very well maintained!! The park is flush with green grass and is situated right by a scenic lake. Too bad I wasn't spending the night here because they offer camping. And...I am a camping enthusiast! I was here at Olson Park back at the end of June 2021 and the conditions were truly pleasant. I honestly felt like taking a blanket out of my car and having a midday nap underneath a tree, lol. I really can't say enough good things about this park. Before I do...I'll just provide some insight and details about where Olson Park is located and some of the worthwhile benefits it offers that make it such a worthwhile destination for enjoying nature and the outdoors. Olson Park is located in the town of Worthington, Minnesota. Worthington sits about 175 miles southwest of Minneapolis and only 10 miles north from the border with Iowa. It's situated about 3 miles outside downtown Worthington. I was traveling down through Minnesota along my 2021 cross country road trip. Eventually I was heading into Sioux Falls, South Dakota and further west towards Badlands National Park and the Mount Rushmore area. Along my driving for half the day, I was just a little fatigued and pulled off Interstate 90 and figured why not take some time to relax at a park and rest up before continuing on my journey. I discovered Olson Park through the wonderful app on my phone called Campendium. Upon arriving here, I was surprised they offered camping. I just figured this place was a quiet town park where you could come play some ball, have a picnic or just simply go fishing by the lake. Well cool...this Olson Park was perfect and ideal for camping! The best part being that you can set up your tent along all the fluffy and lush green grass which definitely make a for comfortable night sleep. Plus...I can't tell you enough how clean this park was! Seriously it was like out of a fresh springtime catalogue for a photo album! Lol, just reflecting back on my pictures invoke warm memories. Too bad...I should have just camped out for the night. But instead, I took it easy for a few hours before returning back to Interstate 90. Also...there wasn't a cloud in the sky during my time here. The sun reflected down on the lake's waters making for a wonderful ambiance. The campsites located next to the lake were efficiently set up. Just taking pictures of the park with the lake in the background was beautiful. For camping... - Campsites 1 - 12 w/ electric hook-up was $33 for the night. - Campsites 13 - 63 w/ electric hook-up was $28 per night. - Campsites 64 - 68 without electric hook-up was only $22 per night. All these sites were very reasonable and fairly priced for camping out at such a well-maintained park! You can book a reservation by calling 507-372-8600 Monday thru Friday. If there isn't a campsite occupied, then it's first come, first served. For spontaneous campers coming here on a whim, once you find an unoccupied site, simply claim it and then drop the fee into the courtesy box on the east side of the office if no attendant is around. And that's it, you're good to go! Here are some other terrific amenities about Olson Park... - They have a shower house with flush toilets, so no vault toilets are always a good thing, lol. - Cell phone reception worked perfectly here. - You can bring swimming apparel to enjoy the waters of the lake. - There were picnic tables situated all around. During my visit here on June 30, the park was empty. It was so quiet for such a picturesque park. And btw, it's always a benefit not having too many campers occupying the grounds. Overall...having tons of green grass, trees situated all around, good shade and a calm setting made this Olson Park to be an absolute winner in my book. I can't remember finding a better campground along my entire 5-month journey across the United States! For those who happen to be driving Interstate 90 and or making their way through the southern portion of Minnesota during their travels, I can't recommend Olson Park enough, so refreshing to discover this hidden gem of a park and campground.

We were pleased to receive an automated email with everything you'd want to know about our camping reservation however the one thing it did not include was the physical address of the campground. Clicked on the link sent in the reservation and it took us to the middle of a residential neighborhood; the only other info on the website was a GPS coordinate and a mailing address. Luckily, we were able to reach the reservation line and they were able to locate the correct physical address which is 12320 240th Street, Orleans, Iowa. Upon arrival we were greeted by a DNR officer who was very helpful with brochures for local attractions and pointed us directly to our campsite. Beyond that one glitch, the campground is clean, well organized, offers well spaced out campsites, clean bathrooms with showers, and each campsite fitted with a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Campsites next to the lake are heavily treed so you should not expect to get a good view of the lake. We were on location mid week so the campground was probably a little quieter than you might find in the weekend. The campground is directly linked to the bike trail (some portions shared with traffic, but all paved) which will take you around Spirit Lake and as far as downtown Okoboji. Recommend if you're looking for a campsite in the area. Note that there is no ice, firewood, or basic necessities available on site however can be obtained nearby in town

Jen was super easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Jen sent us a copy of everything in both color and black/white, which is awesome. Our package included a print credit (so that we can have some photos professionally printed via Studio.1328), and we also own all of the photos digitally, which is a huge plus. Jen (and her husband, who did some photos at our rehearsal dinner), blended seamlessly into our family/friends, and captured both traditional photos and awesome candid shots. Finally, we were impressed with how quickly we received our photos after our wedding!
