Spring Art & Crafts Show April 15, 2012

Twice a year Coralville hosts an Arts and Crafts Show at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Spring Art & Crafts Show April 15, 2012The first is in spring, aptly called the Spring Art and Crafts Show and this year will be held on April 15, which is actually a whole lot later than it was last year when it was at the beginning of March.

I’m getting lots of traffic to my site from folks looking for information on it. I figured I post this to let you all know there’s still a bit of a wait for the 2012 show. There’s not a whole lot of information online about it yet. I will post more detailed information when it becomes available.

In the meantime, mark your calendars, April 15, 2012 is when you can make your way to the Marriot Conference Center in Coralville, just off I-80 by exit 242 for the 2012 Spring Arts & Crafts Show!

Update: This year’s spring arts and crafts show at the Marriott runs from 9.00am to 4.00pm on Sunday April 15, 2012 and admission is $5. Free Parking

Halloween 2011 – Trick or Treat Times in Iowa City, Coralville & North Liberty

Happy Halloween

Happy HalloweenHalloween has become one of the most popular times of the year. In fact one of the most searched for terms to my site this month has been for trick or treat times making it high time I pass that information along….

 

Trick or Treat Times Monday October 31, 2011:

Coralville Trick or Treat Time – 5.30pm – 8.00pm

Iowa City Trick or Treat Time – Dusk – 8.00pm

North Liberty Trick or Treat Time – 5.00pm – 8.00pm

This information came from the community websites for Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty Iowa.

To make Halloween safe and enjoyable time for all here are a few Halloween tips:

It goes without saying a supervising parent or care giver should accompany small children – Older children should walk in groups

Put reflective tape on costumes, (especially if they’re dark colors)

Stay in familiar neighborhoods, walk on the sidewalk, not on the street and don’t cut through yards

Do not cross street between parked cars, cross at corners and intersections

Be cautious around animals, they’re not all child-friendly

Never enter a stranger’s home

Parents should check candy before it is eaten

What can residents in the neighborhood do to make it trick or treat friendly?

Avoid driving if possible and if you absolutely must drive then watch out for the little people

Turn on exterior garage lights for added safety, even if not distributing candy

Turn on lights at the front door if passing out treats

Open House at the CCPA + Plaza On Fifth Saturday October 1, 2011

Open House at CCPA Saturday October 1, 2011

If you haven’t checked out the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts yet then this coming Saturday is your opportunity to catch up on that. In celebration of  the National Arts & Humanities Month the CCPA is holding an open house Saturday October 1, from 1.00pm – 5.00pm. It will be a great opportunity to visit this impressive new theater in Coralville and to meet some of the artists scheduled to perform there in the future.Open House at CCPA Saturday October 1, 2011

And if you’re curious about the luxury condominiums at Plaza on Fifth, which of course are in the same building above the theater, they also have an open house scheduled. Same time too from 1.00pm – 5.00pm. I was there with clients a while back when they were still under construction. There wasn’t a lot to see at the time. It will be interesting to see the “finished product.”

To recap: The Open House is scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2011 – 1.00pm – 5.00pm
