They make the loveliest small, swirled glass cups for the art hops that they sell for only $10 including a wine or beer fill. We are building up a lovely collection. They also carry Christmas ornaments, vases, fishes, and more. Masters of their craft!

She designed the space and used so many interesting up-cycled pieces to give the Studio a welcoming feel. Up to 24 people can design signs at the same time so it's perfect for girls night out, couples night out, bday parties, etc. We brought our own snacks and wine, which is highly encouraged! I'll definitely be back for another workshop soon!

Coaches are around to help with proper form and correct exercises if needed. Any type of machine or weights/mats is available. Most any class you want- they have. They also have a full size pool, a smaller shallower pool, a hot pool along with a spine pool. Showers and Saunas in the locker rooms. There's a track for walking / running. Towels and sanitary wipes. The place is clean, clean, clean. It's wonderful to be around a huge variety of ages/ people. Price might be a bit high but is reasonable for what you get. I would highly recommend this fitness center.

I got to try a few things out during an open house, and was pleasantly surprised at the fun activities available. Rowing was my favorite, as it was the easiest to figure out, although we also tried rope climbing, tire flipping, and rock climbing. The rock climbing was very fun, and you actually go up pretty far. I wasn't able to see what the pool was like, as I got there a bit late, but I've heard nothing but good things. One really wonderful thing I was so grateful for was the fact that there was a cheap little store right at the exit/entrance, so you could get yourself a few snacks and a drink after all that hard work, or for later on.

I went to Olivet my whole life and I feel like I received the best education available in the area…read more All the teachers were great, the curriculum understandable, classmates for the most part friendly. The only downfall Olivet has is the "poo pond" behind the school. If the wind is blowing the wrong way it can be very miserable around campus. I was in the band 5th-12th, with Mr. David Funk directing. He is an awesome band leader and got Olivet into the best shape musically ever, as far as I'm concerned. All of my brothers and sisters have been in the band and have really enjoyed it also. They take a trip to Disney every couple of years, and although they don't go anymore, I got to journey to Washington, DC which was an absolute thrill. I learned so much. We got to go to the Smithsonian, Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, Arlington (which I especially appreciate now, since my hubby is in the army), and many other neat and interesting places. I wish they still went. Recently there was a new auditorium built, which is absolutely beautiful and a true priviledge to have in Olivet. They are contructing a new cafeteria for Jr./Sr. high, and I believe it will be done soon. The drama program in the high school is wonderful, with Miss Malia Koger directing. There is an annual spring play put on by the high school. Always entertaining. My junior year we did Grease...that was a blast! When I was in the choir (Fortissimo), Mrs. Kim Faulkner was in charge, and I believe she is still there. It was ok. I mean, for a small town we had a lot of fun. My senior year we took a trip to NYC with the choir. I think they still go on trips, but I'm not sure. Olivet is really a great place to send your kids. I am hoping that we get to send our daughter there in the fall, although I'm not sure which state we'll be living in since my husband's orders are up in September.
