“Hot Ground Gym is incredible! Two of my kids attend HGG camps and days off school regularly and they LOVE IT. And our youngest is old enough to attend camp with her older siblings this summer too! I love HGG as a parent because of the confidence it builds in my very different children. Recently HGG came to our elementary school and donated their time for our students to enhance leadership + teamwork. It was inspiring and I am so grateful for HGG’s involvement in our local community. You cannot find a better place for your kids to discover their own strengths. Thank you Sam & Doug!”
“Smith Central is so much more than just a gorgeous wedding venue. They deserve so much credit in how magical our day turned out. Other venues we toured before felt like we were just another couple to push through but at Smiths they are with you every step of the way to help you create the wedding how YOU want it. The team you work with at Smiths is made of high quality people. The kind of people that hype you up, make you feel comfortable, and most importantly take away any potential worries you could feel about your day.The initial attraction to Smiths is the gorgeous semi-industrial, beautiful lighted, high beam space but it’s the people that really make this place next level!Photo credits to: Kat Beatty Photos”
“We rented the entire roller rink for a kiddo birthday party and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was helpful & responsive through planning and then friendly and fun on site for our event! Just For Fun Roller Rink was clean, well managed, and such a blast! For the adults who grew up with lots of roller rinks, you will LOVE reliving your childhood. They have a snack bar, video games, black lights, disco ball, DJ who takes requests, and trainers to help new skaters. We will absolutely be back with our family, it was a great experience!!”
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Mac was awesome, so friendly and ready with tasty beverages throughout the day. Plenty of space, quiet, and fantastic prices. My wife and I worked there all day long to give my parents and the grandkids some time together. We will absolutely return without any hesitation!”

The staff at The Shores of Turtle Creek are always professional and accommodating, ensuring that every detail is taken care of and allowing couples to relax and enjoy their special day. With its welcoming ambiance and beautiful surroundings, The Shores of Turtle Creek is truly a gem of a venue for weddings, and I always look forward to capturing unforgettable moments there.”
“Bernice is a true PRO. Catering was the easiest part of our wedding planning, thanks to her years of experience, know how and professionalism. Food was great, staff was great. Becky one of the captain did our tasting and was covering bartending for our wedding and she was awesome. Both ladies are a breath of fresh air to work with.”
“Amazing venue to see a show! It's great having a somewhere so close to home that constantly books great bands. I am constantly checking their calendar to see who's coming next. We brought our 9 year old to Kashmir and the staff was absolutely awesome when they interacted with him.”
