Instead, we are cramped into a small room elbow to elbow and at one point for the Valentine's Day game, All those seated decided to take off their masks completely. When I told the event helpers that we were leaving because we didn't feel safe, they just looked at me and said "ok" and didn't even tell the group that they need to put their masks back on. Very hostile environment. The non-maskers were glaring at you and coughing at you. I did not feel safe there. Owner was more focused on his income then the health and well being of the community. Very sad! We just left rather than succumb ourselves to a toxic environment.

Just a fun and creative environment everyone there is super nice and amazing at what they do thereread more

This was my first experience with Jones Bros Jewelers. I had assumed most items would be out of our…read morebudget, since I've been married nearly 20 years and don't routinely make expensive jewelry purchases beyond my wedding set. Indeed, they had many beautiful sparkly things from which I tried to avert my eyes. We have two kids going to college soon, so there goes my bling money. For Mother's Day, I had asked for a circle pendant I could have my daughters' birthdates engraved upon. I didn't think ahead to how I was going to get said item engraved, and spent a bit of time researching how to handle that. Yelp suggested they do engraving at Jones, so I ventured in for the first time. Despite being what I would consider a higher end store, I was warmly welcomed and felt comfortable there. At no point did anyone even remotely make me feel poorly for bringing in an item purchased elsewhere. That has NOT been my experience at other jewelers. I'm talking to you, Kevin Kelly. I'll never forget how he made me feel for asking him to set a stone I didn't purchase there. I'll never go there again. Hey, guess what? People buy things on the internet. Especially if their husband's nickname is Mr. Thrifty. But I digress. Jones has employed an engraver with actual graphic design experience and that made it worth the price which was admittedly a tiny bit high for engraving. I was willing to pay for Jen's advice and expertise. She expanded upon my ideas and made the piece even more personal and special. I can't say enough good things about working with her. Thank you Jen and Dan for helping bring my vision to life and finishing this special piece that I will treasure. I will definitely use you for all my engraving needs and recommend you without hesitation.

That's what multiple students say is happening right now at Tricoci Beauty School in Peoria. Students have reported: Threats and intimidation in class Racial harassment and bullying Instructors teaching outside their qualifications Silence or retaliation when anyone speaks up If you've experienced this, document everything--emails, messages, photos--and reach out to Illinois regulators (IBHE, IDFPR, NACCAS, or OCR). You have a right to safety and the education you paid for. Education should build confidence, not trauma. Let's make noise until every student is protected and every complaint is heard. #TricociTruth #StudentSafety #AccountabilityMatters #IllinoisEducation

Draper Glass is a glassblowing studio that offers classes to the public. During our visit we learned about making those glass pumpkins that are EVERYWHERE in the fall (that I've been not-so-secretly coveting), and then, with hands-on assistance, we got to make our own! Jeremie is the owner of J. Draper, and she worked one-on-one with my boyfriend and me. She was incredibly helpful, nice, and funny. Jeremie and her associates have the whole process down to a science, telling you exactly where to stand, when, making the class safe as well as fun. It was so cool to pick out colors and then make my pumpkin, and I equally loved watching my classmates' pumpkins take shape. J. Draper offers all kinds of classes that cater to a variety of interests and price ranges. There are also dozens of pieces of glass art for sale at the studio if you just want to pick up something beautiful for yourself or a friend. I highly recommend taking a class at J. Draper Glass! It was a fun and unique experience that I'll remember for a very long time.

This is a really cool hands on activity and doesn't require guests to be super artistic. Anyone can do it with their help and make some really cool items. We made ornaments and sun catchers that will make great gifts or cool items for the house. I would recommend this for a date night, family night ( we had 7 people ), team building or just get together night with friends. No complaints at all. Not sure on the official age recommendation, but as a mom I'd say 12 and over.
