Some Things To Try this spring break

Spring break is a perfect time for students to relax, catch up with friends, and explore new things around our area. Here are some ideas to help pass the time

Freight House Farmers Market

The farmers' market is a popular local attraction that offers a variety of vendors selling food, baked goods, handmade items, and locally grown products. With warmer weather, it’s the perfect time to support local businesses and find unique items not typically found in retail stores. The farmers' market is always a success, making it a great place to spend a morning or afternoon during break.

Great place to be! Food, music, and vendors were all awesome. It’s definitely a hangout place.” —- Google Reviewer

Not only does Dave & Buster's have an arcade with a wide variety of classic and newer interactive games, but they also have a restaurant. With food, drinks, and plenty of arcade games to keep you entertained, Dave & Buster's is a one-stop destination to spend a few hours with friends and family. 

Don’t snooze on this place just because it’s a chain. I was impressed. Service was great, atmosphere was casual but fun, food was delicious.. The games actually exceeded my expectations in terms of how fun they were. — Google Reviewer
