We had such a fun time last night! Margo, there were quite a few options for food. We saw Buffalo Wild Wings, Holy Cannoli, and Rochester Mills, to name a few.

Someone "Upstairs" was watching the Fire and Ice events last night also.
"He" provided a perfect full moon to add some special effects to The Fire and Ice events and especially the Fireworks!
Thanks!!
