They will be baked and next week we will go in to create our jewelry pieces. For the 2 week class it was $20, and they have other classes for similar prices! It was definitely a great experience and something not a lot of people in the community know about. In addition to the various classes, Madjax also has a monthly membership to their design lab where members would have access to all of the various tools they have, and would be able to receive training on them. They are going to be expanding their lab to include wood and metal working in the near future!

Madjax is a new and happening venue in Muncie - what was once an old warehouse is being transformed…read moreinto "a center for innovation and design; it brings together makers of all kinds converting the energy of ideas, power of problem solving and grit of making into entrepreneurship" (as taken from their website). You can find events here from yoga, the workshops/club, concerts, small businesses, etc. It is still a work in process as they are continuing to renovate the place for more space. Currently is houses a Brewing Co. and printshop. I attended a concert here for The Outlet, which is a once a month Christian heartistic expression of arts events performed by musicans, artists, dancers, etc. The open space was nice, the warehouse/industrial look fit the theme, and the bathrooms were newly renovated and nice. The space for this event was big enough to fit a few hundred people and chairs were provided. For The Outlet in particular, vendors were setup and free food was provided to concert goers. There was an assortment of great performers from acoustics, to poetry, to rap and instrumentals. The Outlet is free to the public as well.

Went to a wedding here. In a rough neighborhood, and I wasn't sure if it was still a church or had…read morebeen converted. Nice enough outside, older building so I hoped it was interesting inside. Street parking, plus a lot across the street with what might be another small venue. Walked in and: wow. They have kept a lot of the patina of the old building, but redesigned the spaces and added interesting touches. Very cool. Perfect for a small wedding, maybe a concert, etc. The ceremony and reception were both there; they reconfigured it while we had a cocktail hour upstairs. So many nooks and crannies, plus sweeping views, and lots of good places to hang out and talk. Really worked well. Sound was good, lots of natural light plus their own lights. Staff were excellent: friendly, professional, helpful, unobtrusive. We had a really great time. I would definitely recommend this for events in the area.

I had the best time at this Marriott. Looking at the photos I took of my room, I'm reminded just…read morehow much I loved my stay and will always remember it. My visit to Muncie was made all the better just by staying at this hotel. According to the internet, the official name of the hotel is the Courtyard by Marriott Muncie at Horizon Convention Center. Whatta mouthful! I'll just call it the Marriott. I never liked the term "conveniently located," because it raises the question: convenient to whom? It's such a nebulous, throwaway phrase. But literally, this Marriott is conveniently located in downtown Muncie, in the middle of the city and within steps of many restaurants and attractions. There's even a terrific restaurant attached to the hotel that's located downstairs (1925 Pubhouse). The hotel is next door to the Muncie Children's Museum, within sight of the Muncie Visitors Bureau, and across the street from a grassy area where many outdoor concerts happen during the summer. If you want to not use your car very much when you visit Muncie, but you want to do a lot and visit a lot of places, this is a good hotel at which to stay. One of the cool things about this Marriott is that it is a teaching hotel, and provides job training and employment for people with disabilities. I love that. The dude who checked me out of my room, and the homie who kindly sold me a cup of coffee and avocado toast, both had disabilities. My lovely interactions with them were an integral part of me loving my stay. As for my room: It had a comfy king-sized bed with lots of pillows, a TV that you can connect to Amazon Prime and other streamers to watch your favorite movies about hundreds of beavers, a mini fridge to store water bottles and chill a bottle of white wine, and a view that overlooks the city. It is a nice, clean, functional, comfortable, restful and special hotel.

It has been over eight years since my original review of Muncie, Indiana's Courtyard by Marriott at…read moreHorizon Convention Center Since that time, I've stayed in the hotel any time I return to Muncie and it has become a regular part of my travel routine within Indiana. The hotel is a Marriott franchisee owned by Arc of Indiana, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The hotel is a "teaching" hospital and plays host to the Erskine-Green Training Institute - Indiana's first statewide hospitality training center for individuals with disabilities. The goal is to train folks with disabilities for a competitive wage jobs. The hotel itself is a for profit project that provides an immersive training ground for those interested in hospitality industry jobs.The hotel is contractually obligated to have at least 20% of its employees be persons with disabilities. While Scott Wise's Thr3e Wisemen Brewery was part of the hotel in the beginning, it has been replaced by a similarly themed 1925 Pubhouse that also serves as a training restaurant for Erskine-Green. Opened in December 2015, this Courtyard is a six-floor hotel that is attached to Thr3e Wisemen, the Muncie Children's Museum and the Horizon Convention Center. Originally targeted for the old Roberts Hotel, which was snatched up and turned into condos before the project was greenlighted, the hotel ended up being built on land donated by the city of Muncie. During training, Erskine-Green Training Institute students stay at the hotel, unless they are relatively local and commute, while in their 10-13 week training programs. This also means, of course, that this Courtyard is one of the most accessible hotels you can imagine. Truly. It offers a variety of accessibility options in the majority of its rooms including wheelchair accessibility, roll-in showers, and adaptive equipment for both visual and hearing impairments. Some of the rooms even have automated doors (though, ironically, mine wasn't working during my most recent stay). The hotel was recently renovated as it nears its 10th anniversary. It offers spacious rooms, contemporary/clean decor, a fair pricing point, an in-house bistro that offers breakfast and dinner, an around-the-clock Starbucks option (not full menu), a nice and wheelchair friendly pool, a fitness center, and even a check-in center that has been made accessible. You should know, as it's a tad confusing, that the parking in front of the hotel actually belongs to the new condos. Don't park there. They seem a tad moody. Instead, there's a parking garage behind the hotel where guests park for free (It's $1 an hour if you're just visiting). There's no doubt my affection for Erskine-Green somewhat skews my rating, and I'll acknowledge that while I seldom have any issues on this visit the automatic door didn't work (and it's quite heavy without the automatic feature) and a packed house due to a convention clearly had the staff a bit overwhelmed. Minor quibbles (though having stayed from Friday evening to Sunday, I was a bit bothered that no one bothered to address the automatic door). On the plus side, a previous tip I'd made to lower the bed had actually been implemented. Bravo. As this is centrally located in downtown, the hotel attracts a variety of traveling guests, businesses, and others. On one visit, I even met the duo from Air Supply in town for a concert (If you don't know Air Supply, move on - I'm old. Get over it). The meeting rooms were nicely equipped, there were charging stations all over the place and even more since the recent renovation added charging stations at tables. Profits from this hotel go to benefit the Erskine-Green Training Institute and other ARC projects. So, you have a terrific room at a fair price with great service and you're supporting a great organization working to put folks with disabilities in the workforce. It really doesn't get much better than that.

This hotel needs a remodel and new management…read more Our hotel room was musty and damn when we checked in -- and the girl told us she had no more rooms. The room itself was dated, and the bathroom was terrible. The shower drape was so short that it ended up making the bathroom floor wet and slippery when you got out of the shower. The parking lot was also dangerously dark at night -- I didn't feel 100% safe in it. The 'breakfast bar' really lacked a lot to offer -- and it tasted nursing-home-bland. The checkout clerk didn't even ask how our stay was -- which is usually a big red flag that they don't care. Won't be staying here again -- and don't recommend it for anyone else.

Just left a wedding reception here and when the food was set down, I knew this place was a rip off…read more Several of the wedding guests said they would never eat there again. For the prices they charge and the quality of their food, it is less than satisfactory. I got the chicken piccata, which I often do at nicer restaurants, (I wouldn't call the Delaware Country Club a nice restaurant after my experience) and it was a small blanket of angel hair pasta hiding under an even smaller piece of chicken. I honestly thought when they set the plate down it was a joke. $22 dollars and you're skimping out on thinly sliced chicken and pasta, come on. Waste of gas getting there. The staff was attentive to our needs, but if you want to market the Country Club as a nice facility, lower your prices and make your staff dress a little nicer. Old baggy T-shirts, hair all over the place and falling out of the pony tail, and overall looking a mess, it's embarrassing.

One caterer we contacted in March for our Sept wedding suggested we contact them again 2 or 3 weeks before our event. HCC was a welcome change of pace to work with people who had the knowledge and patience to work with us on our schedule. The amount of food they suggested (we served appetizers during our reception) seemed to be about spot on. I can't give a detailed review if the food because I didn't get a chance to eat much of it. But what I did eat was great and I heard mumblings of good things from our guests. But Jason was very helpful in getting everything set up during our event, making our food lines look great with the use of some extra linen, columns, and various boxes or something which added height along the buffet line. Couldn't be happier with what Heavenly Creations provided during our big day.
