Just a little note here about our reception venue. Last week, the Lowe Park Amphitheater and Sculpture Trail project was selected as one of six Iowa communities to receive funding from the Vision Iowa Board.

Here's a little blurb from a post about the project:
The project features an amphitheater with a 50-foot wide stage that has an oak leaf-like sculptured canopy and an art sculpture trail. Utilities, storm water management and wetlands construction/ restoration are also included in the scope of the project. Construction is expected to be complete in December 2013.

How will this affect our wedding?

There's still snow there right now...
It will not.

There will probably be some construction out back, but since the reception is inside (in the nice air-conditioned building) it shouldn't cause any hassle. You'll still be able to enjoy the sculpture trails and little playground, if you so choose.

And that pond is frozen...
 
This is not exactly wedding related but we are excited about it so we will post about it anyway! Two weekends before the wedding we are going to this music festival and they finally posted the line-up. We went to the festival the last time it happened two years ago. Then we only went for one of the two days, but this year we have our tickets all prime and ready to go to the entire two-day concert/camping/awesome extravaganza!
