Once your colors are selected, you have free rein to decorate how you want! I chose this cute chicken planter for my kitchen and absolutely loved how it turned out. After your painting and checkout, you will get a call once your work has been fired and completed. It's an incredibly easy process with great staff. We'll be back!

I wandered into a Circus Harmony performance while visiting the City Museum. I was lucky enough to…read moreget inside just minutes before their show started. Shows are all free. The announcer was lively, entertaining, and informative. He shared how this is the only circus school in St Louis and is also the only social circus school. They offer classes to kids of all ages, with their oldest student being of 93 years currently. The show was fantastic! The performers whom I saw tonight were in level 1.5. They've just finished their 15-week fall semester (Dec) and were showcasing their skills. It was great to see the teachers/mentors, helping the students, providing balance aid, and spotting. I look forward to returning to see if I recognize any performers in the future. Donations are welcome and go towards helping students.

Great concept, awful execution. Much of the equipment doesn't work or has no course to allow…read moreusage. Some equipment has never worked. The required courses in order for a member to use the equipment are overpriced and are more for legal and insurance reasons than for member learning. Poor cost/benefit and non competitive. They are not adequately staffed or trained to take care of the range of equipment. Management pays lip service to member input, but if the input is not positive they react as if attacked. The general manager told me that they would prefer to hire interesting and likable people over 30 year veterans. I am opposed to a view that benefits their image, like Abercrombie & Finch, over knowledge and experience of the instructors. The local management really can only implement corporate directed education and has no real policy making power of their own. I love the concept, and hope this review helps them to improve their execution.

This camp offers kids from any income level the opportunity to go away to camp. They can learn to swim, climb a tower, perfect their artistic talents and so much more. The leadership program includes wilderness adventures of hiking and canoeing, takes them on college visits, lets them experience how volunteer service feels and gives them to skills to get to a job at the end of the 4 year program. While the kids think they are just having fun, the real goal is to give them the skills and desire to further their education...college or vocational...and break the cycle of poverty. It also is a wonderful work experience for young adults. Teaching them responsibility, exposing them to diversity and hopefully influencing their attitudes about the potential of all children if they are just given the opportunities and skills needed to succeed. If you are thinking of sending your kids to camp, SFC is a nurturing environment that will challenge them. They'll walk through the woods and sing songs around campfires. They'll make friends and learn the value of teamwork. They'll spend hours in the library and try new foods. They'll grow up with camp their second home. Start them young and keep sending them back.
