The Science of Art

You might not think mechanical engineering and art go hand-in-hand, but local artist Pat Haug has a passion for both. She started out with a mechanical engineering degree from University of Wisconsin–Madison before taking a hiatus to homeschool her children.

Back in the workforce for more than three years since opening Alchemy Arts Studio in Stillwater, where she teaches glass fusing, metal and clay, she says she knew the Valley would be the perfect place to teach this art form. Read more about The Science of Art

An Afton House Thanksgiving

To succeed at Thanksgiving means throwing 10 turkeys into the air and catching all of them at once. There’s the cooking turkey, the cleaning turkey, the “I hope my home is big enough for everyone” turkey, and the trickiest turkey of all—your opinionated Aunt Ruth. The Afton House Inn has the solution for diners who suffer feast anxiety: Thanksgiving buffet, served from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. November 23. Co-owner Dan Jarvis supervises the scene, serving up all the classic recipes and more. Read more about An Afton House Thanksgiving

The 18-hole course is set to open in spring 2018. It was designed as a collaboration between golf legends Arnold Palmer and Annika Sorenstam. Read more about Fit for the King

Renovating a historic home is no easy task; it’s probably best described as a balancing act.

Fixer-uppers can prove time-consuming and expensive, and they might not be for everyone, but those who have successfully brought an old house back to life say that the final results make the hard work worthwhile.

BB is for Beautiful

For Brooke Fleetwood, owner of BB Makeup, spending her life doing anything other than makeup was never an option. “My mom told me to explore being an esthetician,” Fleetwood says. “When I learned I could combine studying skin and makeup, there wasn’t any doubt. I wanted to do what I love.” Read more about BB is for Beautiful
