So I got out my old fly rod and took stock of my flies. I decided I needed a few foam spiders to enjoy my new fishing station. I called at least seven local stores without success. The pleasant owner said he had a few left and I immediately drove over. The store had everything you would ever need for fishing. Live bait, rods and reels, lots of lures and line. They sure saved my weekend. Give them a try this spring before all of the fish escape!

Fort Wayne is a city with three rivers flowing through it: the St. Marys, the St. Joseph, and the…read moreMaumee. So of course, when my family and I had the chance to explore the city via its waterways, we jumped at the chance. We had our first-ever canoeing experience as a family, and I have to admit that I was a little (OK, a lot) nervous. But Fort Wayne Outfitters was super professional and made sure that we were all safe, and I felt a lot better once we hit the water. They gave us some instructions on how to paddle and how to change direction. Canoeing and kayaking are two of those activities that you just have to jump in and do it yourself, and you eventually get the hang of it. After about 10 minutes of paddling up the river, I felt a lot more confident! I wasn't going to win any awards, but I was able to paddle fast and turn the canoe in whatever direction I wanted it to go. We had two young children with us, and the children sat at the front of the two-person canoe, because they weigh less than the adults. Everyone is given life jackets, and they provide multiple sizes for adults and children. We booked two hours, but my youngest child pooped out after about a half hour. Canoeing is a good workout, and it'll get you tired! But I feel like an older kid could definitely go two hours. The best part about our experience was that we got to see downtown Fort Wayne from a whole different perspective. Fort Wayne Outfitters and the boat launch is located at Promenade Park, so we got to see all of the great features of the park, and then also the nature and beauty of this part of Indiana (as well as beaver dams!).

I have never seen a worker but things keep getting taken care of so someone is a ninja. We have only played on the soccer fields but they are marked well too. Side note: I will throw in that the only place we have gone and had the Irish soccer ref too. He is amazing, funny and interesting to watch. All teams that play there know him. He is one of our added bonuses. Tip - it is always colder than the temperature says so bring a jacket, blanket or both.

A large paved walking path, soccer fields, tennis court... not one, but TWO cool (and safe) playgrounds for children 2-12, which have modified equipment for disabled children and gathering spaces for all ages to encourage inclusivity. The bathroom facilities are unfortunately closed (I think this may be for the season,) but there was a portable toilet in the parking lot for use. There is also a splash pad that must be hopping in the summertime! Looking forward to seeing it in action. I don't live close by but the trek is worth it as the possibilities are endless for young children and the young at heart at Kreager Park.

My daughter rented the Old Barn for her wedding. She hired an approved caterer, from the list of…read morerequired caterers. Friday, the day before the wedding, she rented it for setup. Jenna, from the venue was on-site. I told Jenna that one of the two sinks in the men's restroom wasn't working. She came into the bathroom with me and wiped down the sensor, but it still didn't work. She said she would have someone look at it. Saturday, before the wedding, we went to the Old Barn for pictures. We left around 4 PM and my daughter told Jenna that the caterers were scheduled to be there at 5:00 and the wedding was at 5:30. We would be there after the wedding. A few minutes after 5, I got a call from the caterers. The venue was refusing to let them in because my daughter didn't have a member of the wedding party on-site. I started making phone calls and I spoke to the caterers and to Jenna and she informed me that not only did they require someone to be onsite, that person could not leave the premises. My brother ended up missing his niece's wedding ceremony because of this. While my brother was there, he informed Jenna that the one of the two sinks was not working. He was not aware that I had reported it the day before. Jenna told him "add it to your review" and walked away from him. My brother also asked Jenna why they required someone to be onsite when we used approved caterers and why it was never mentioned prior to 30 minutes before the wedding? Jenna told him it is in every contract. I submitted the contract to AI and it said there is nothing in the contract that states we must have someone there. On the contrary, it states my daughter was responsible for scheduling the caterers, which she did. She told Jenna at 4:00 PM the caterers were scheduled for 5:00 PM. Jenna never mentioned we had to be there. The caterers and bartenders apologized to us, several times and said they had never experienced that situation in the 18 plus years they have been working Salomon Farms. My brother asked for Jenna's supervisor, and he was eventually allowed to speak to Amanda. According to my brother, Amanda was rude and did not make any reference to being sorry for the situation or cared that my brother was missing the ceremony. This place wasn't cheap but my daughter loved the location. We spent a lot of money to be treated like crap by Jenna and Amanda and my brother missed the ceremony due to poor communication and lies. Very disappointing. In the greater scope of things, it was a wonderful service and we had a wonderful time, it is just beyond our level of understanding how this happened and how the site did not express an iota of compassion for the situation. They claim it was in the contract by I searched the contract and AI read the document and neither of us could find it. So thank you Jenna, Amanda and the Fort Wayne Park District for a stain on what was otherwise a wonderful day.
