Tuck says he enjoys making things with his hands, like cooking, and will be giving us the back story about his latest project for a Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Missouri, where the sculptures will stand 12 feet tall!

On Vickers Review, Jon will be recommending a film that he calls his guilty pleasure. ?The American Astronaut? is a b-movie in every sense of the term. Directed and starring Cory McAbee, who is the lead singer of the rock band Billy Nayer Show, this film covers five different genres. This musical, comedy, film noir, western and science fiction movie is for anyone looking for something different to watch on a Friday night.

They have the only two heated indoor arenas in the area! Amy Sandmann and Amanda Mark teaches horseback riding lessons from beginner through advanced to people of all ages. Amanda is the ?saddle seat? trainer and Amy is the ?hunt seat? trainer, both riding disciplines are different by the saddle and the way the rider sits on the horse.
