Timberview Farmstead opened in March of 2024, and this was my first. I am filled with joy and can…read moreguarantee I will be back and in the meantime, sharing this gem with my friends and neighbors! Timberview will be a huge establishment; I wish them the best of luck as they continue to grow! Typically, there are 30 - 40 people who come to the events. They also do field trip days where they have 120 kids at a time doing all the fun activities and meeting the animals. My friend and I got lucky to have a near private tour with us and grandparents with their grandkids. Seth was kind enough to show us all around, teach us all about the animals and this wonderful place. Normally, it is more free roam. The summer schedule runs as follows: Daily Farm Schedule 10:15 AM Rabbit Races at the Small Animal Barn 10:45 AM Petting Tables at the Small Animal Barn 11:15 AM Sheep and Goat Walk Meet in front of the Large Animal Barn 12:15 PM Hold the Chickens at the Poultry Barn 1:00 PM Daily Theme Activity Each day is a different activity, and those are: TEA PARTY TUESDAYS Join us for afternoon tea with the bunnies! WATER WEDNESDAYS Bathe the goats, water the plants, and feed the ducks! TAKE HOME THURSDAYS Come pick up a farm activity to bring home! FISHING FRIDAYS Pick up a pole and head to boathouse! I loved the rabbit races. Getting to pick your rabbit, and then they put on race music for the bunnies to get excited and run. It is so fun. Reese and Waffles won our races, so you can try those two bunnies for your races. They did let us know two bunnies that we could not pick because they just had babies or were pregnant. They take good care of their animals here! Another activity that we thoroughly enjoyed was the goat and sheep walk. It unlocked a new joy for me. Seeing kids walk a goat or sheep. There is nothing quite like it! One child walked the mama goat, and the baby followed the whole way. One sheep (Ana) decided she did not want to go for a walk and dug her heels in the ground, so they let her go out to the pasture. Again, nothing is forced. If the animal doesn't want to or is tired, they get a pass. I can't wait for their fall activities! They plan to be open every Saturday in October and will have pumpkins and likely a small hay maze. December plans are unknown, but they may also be open on Saturdays, so follow their Facebook page and website for details to come. In the future, they hope to have a farmers market, coffee shop, and eventually a restaurant. Right now, their produce is sold to Tacos Oasis, a restaurant down the road and a catering company. We got to see them harvesting microgreens during the visit. Seth taught us about aquaponics, a method of growing lettuce in water from fish, which combines hydroponics with raising fish in tanks. About 20 employees work here, and the 5 or so that we got to interact with were welcoming and honestly, heartwarming to chat with. Seth obviously stands out because he walked around with us for two hours, but also T. She is a midwife who is changing up careers and a very pleasant person to chat with about the animals. The last thing I'll note. For being a farm, it is shocking how clean this place is! They do a great job keeping the floors clean. Ample hand washing stations and a few bathrooms in some buildings. The one thing I found missing was a diaper changer. It's possible they have one, but just not in the rabbit barn bathroom. Come enjoy, stay as long as you can, and definitely become a member to get the most joy from this place! Pack water, snacks, and a full lunch so you and the kids can stay happy during your visit. You can also visit Taco Oasis down the road afterward like we did! Check out all my pictures for detailed captions on cool things we saw.

It's so wonderful to do something different on a Friday night and support local artists. From what…read moreI can gather each show is a little different? We went with past Friday. The "magic parlor" is in a space on Exposition near Fair Park. There's street parking or a couple of paid lots if the street is full. The space is pretty small, but didn't feel cramped with 50 or so guests. I booked my ticket online for $20 through Prekindle. You can also pay another $10 to reserve seats in the front two rows. We strolled in and they checked us in. Seats were first come first serve so we were in the very back. My friend brought in his cooler of booze, but I also noticed there were a few free bottles of wine at the front and some bottle water. Very nice! David Jessup a local comedian opened the show and was the MC all night between acts with the help of Audrey Grace who opened and closed the curtains and held up the applause sign when David was bombing (haha). There were a couple of burlesque dancers at this show. One, Bethany Summersizzle, danced a few times. The other, Jai Le Bait did crazy stunts like swallow a knife! Confetti Eddie is the main performer and he reminded me of the old timey black and white movies where the folks didn't talk. He was so cute and charming. He did a few corny magic tricks that were still very fun to watch! Popper Zander was on hand this Friday night and played a few songs of her own that went well the night's burlesque/side show theme. Overall we had such a fun night. It's kind of awesome turning your cell phone off for an hour or so and enjoying a show with live performers. Keep up with Confetti Eddie on FB to see the next upcoming shows!

We saw the Fright Night act and had a great time…read more Prior to the show beginning we had the chance to watch two magicians perform - one who performed magic with rings and one who performed magic with cards. Both were very good and the tricks were fun. The venue is very intimate and had only seats 50 or so - which meant that virtually all of the audience had the chance to participate in the show at some point. The show itself had several acts along with two musical interludes from the Wild Natives (who were also quite good). Afterwards the performers invite the audience for drinks at one of the bars close by. We had a great time and would recommend it.

As usual, the overall massage was incredible! Don't let the aspect of students practicing make you feel like a guinea pig. They are trained and very good for still being in school. Please call to get in on the massage session. Hurry since they fill up quickly.

She has specific time slots that need to be filled and you can choose which time slots works w your schedule. I believe you have to show up 15 minutes before your massage to fill out a questionnaire. They are located in the H.P.E. building. I'm assuming it stands for the Heath and Physical Education Building. The massage room is nice and spacious. It's dark and cool inside. Each space is divided by curtain so, you can hear the dialogue going on with the person next to you and know if they enjoyed the massage too. Lol. My Massage Therapist had great energy. She was a Medium sized Asian and warned me of her heavy hand. I told her no, I'm not a fan of that. She said, ok, I'll make sure to be soft. She did an incredible job. It was relaxing and comforting. Soft music plays in the background as you get your massage. I rembering hearing a Christian Instrumental Song. I just can't think of the name but, it was nice to recognize the tune. Afterwards, you fill out a Post Massage Therapy assessment form then your good to go! I would definitely recommend a Massage from this College.
