There are several things I like about Foster's farm. They sell the best apple cider I've ever had, from an apple orchard in Conway. Their corn maze is perfect for our family. Every year they have a different theme, this year it's Charlie Brown. It took us a little over an hour to do the maze, a perfect amount of time for my children ages 5 & 8. My 12 year old would prefer a bigger maze. There are lots of things to find in the maze. Finding things often helped keep the 5 year old's interest. When you go, you have to bring a quarter to feed the goat. He has a great "trick" he does. Drop the food in the tin can and watch what happens. My kids love it! They also have a hay maze which is best for small children. My five year old still likes to do it out of nostalgia but I think by next year she'll opt out. They sell plants, produce, and "Foster Farms" gourmet type canned food and spreads. They sell ice cream cones made with Country Charm ice cream, which I think is some of the best ice cream available. Pumpkin and eggnog are great seasonal flavors. They also have a small gift shop which sells home decorating items.

This is where I take my things when it's important that they come back clean. My daughter's Christening gown needed cleaning due to a leaky diaper. They got the stain out of the white satin. They also pressed the garment very nicely. I use a pre-paid dry cleaner for day to day clothes like dresses and it's nice to see clothes that are pressed with care instead of hurriedly.

I really like taking my animals here. The employees are friendly and seem to love animals. I had a black lab who was 100 pounds overweight. They diagnosed a thyroid problem and as she was dropping weight, I brought her in monthly for weight checks, free of charge. We had a pet chicken who was injured and they were compassionate in dealing with our unusual pet. I recommend them.

As I said in the title, this is the only barber my husband will go to, which can be a minus when she's closed and he really needs a haircut. The barber is a woman and she does a really great job. She's closed on Mondays which always seems to be the day my husband needs a trim. She does really well with his cowlicks and a mole on his neck which every other barbers who has cut his hair has nicked.

I have been very happy with the treatment I have received at Arlington Family Chiropractor. The chiropractor is young, probably late 30's but he is very good. After receiving several treatments, the headaches which used to plague me daily were gone. If you're an established patient, they send you a postcard for a free adjustment at your birthday. They usually have coupons in the val-packs that come in the mail for a free x-ray, initial exam and massage so if you can wait to go, you'll save a lot of money.

Shopping at the Co op is fun. It definitely has a "farmer" feel to it. They sell food for the local small farmers, horse, pig, chicken, etc. I like to buy cat food and dog food there. I think it's a good quality food and is definitely cheaper than the grocery store. They also sell wood pellets, propane, and the types of things a small farmer would need (fencing, troffs, grooming supplies). You can join the Co op for a one time fee and then you get a yearly dividend on your purchases. I usually get about $10 back. The first time you go you might feel a little strange walking in through the back past pallets of animal food but they're very informal. I like shopping at the Co Op.

The spelling of theater in the name might be fancy, but Olympic Theatre definitely is not! It's just got one theater and I think the seats have been there 50 years. Don't come here expecting thick, plush seats like they put in the new theaters. No dolby surround sound either. Olympic Theatre shows movies maybe a month after they come out. Tuesdays are usually two for one night unless an especially popular movie is showing. I love the bathrooms. The bathrooms are located up a curving staircase, mens and womens on opposite sides of the theater. For some reason, it feels glamorous to ascend the narrow stairway to the ladies room. I guess I imagine what it was like when the theater was in it's heyday. They have a concession stand which sells popcorn and candy. It's a unique theater and I'm glad they're still open.

Unique Interiors put new flooring (carpet & laminate) down in our home and I'm thrilled. They have a large selection of samples in their store and were very willing for me to take samples home to choose just the right stuff. They had to do some tile work between a stone fireplace and the laminate which required some intricate cuts. It looks wonderful! They matched the grout on the tile with the grout on the stone fireplace perfectly. Their prices are more expensive than you'll find at a big box hardware store but the personalized service is worth it. The carpet layer had missed tacking down a piece of carpet on the stairs and when I called about it, they came right over and fixed it. I don't think you'd get that kind of service from Lowe's. I highly recommend them to someone who isn't trying to pinch every penny but is willing to pay what quality is worth.

Melady lanes is a throwback to the way bowling used to be before computers. Here, you actually keep your own score with paper and pencil. It's not a large bowling alley, I think I remember 8 lanes. They were very accommodating to us and put "bumpers" up in one of our lanes for the kids. They also have a ramp the kids can roll the ball down to launch it. I knocked a star off because when we went, they allowed smoking. They also have video games, pull tabs, and a snack bar.

I have been very happy with the way Dr. Dykstra has treated my family. He was been gentle with us. I have on child who just fears the dentist, even with gas. Dr. Dykstra finally suggested a pediatric dentist. It takes a lot of integrity to refer a patient away when you theoretically could provide the care. He keeps a drawer filled with Oriental Trading type toys for the kids to pick up at the end of the visit. The office staff is also very nice. In t he waiting room they have a small television with vcr (kids movies) and lots of magazines to look through.
