812 Main St, Ft. Worth, TX | Directions 7610232.752122 -97.329660
Mon-Thurs 5-10pm; Fri-Sat 5-11pm
Service was Excellent! – This place rocks! it's a bit pricey but worth every penny. Enjoy!
I love the rib eye steak and the sesame seared tuna. Both are served in large portions and so good. Try the rosemary squash side dish. It is very good. It is expensive but worth it. Avoid the Stock Show nights.
This feels like Fort Worth!! – Outstanding meal! The shrimp were succulent and all of our steaks were cooked perfectly. And seasoned perfectly, which is not done right very often. The wine stewards are a blast, one of them walked me into a Washington cab for $90 and it was terrific. The building is beautiful, the service is fluid and friendly. It's easy to see on my end why I'll be back.
Very Good Experience – My friends and I visited Del Frisco's for a girl's evening out. Our experience was absolutely wonderful. Looking forward to visiting this location again.
Great steak, great atmosphere, great service! – I don't understand the previous negative reviews. Unfortunately some people don't get out much. I travel two weeks a month and dine out from coast to coast. I have eaten at Del Frisco's in New York and Las Vegas and have always had an excellent time. Last week was my first trip to Fort Worth and Del Frisco's was recommended by the concierge as the best restaurant in town. I was dining alone and upon entering the restaurant was greeted with a smiling face. Must have been a busy night, so I found a seat at the bar for a cocktail as the hostess worked on finding me a table. One cocktail later I was being seated.
Food was excellent. I had a sweet/spicy calamari appetizer. Too much for one person to eat but I'll make a trip back to Fort Worth for that alone. A New York strip cooked perfectly. Delicious Au Gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. Washed it all down with a half bottle of Cabernet. (Half bottles are a great idea for the single diner and they must have close to 100 selections!) All in all what I expect from Del Frisco's, but most importantly, when I returned home I received a thank you card from my waiter Kevin. Class act.
Very Disappointed – My husband took me to Del Friscos for our anniversary-- we had heard great things about it, and were excited to try it. We ordered our steak medium-well-- I told the waiter I just wanted a little pink in the center. The steak came out bright pink all over-- we ended up sending it back 4 times, and at that point, the outside was so charred it didn't taste good. We were so disappointed. I could have gotten a steak at Saltgrass for 1/4 of the price and been pleased. We won't go there again.
Horrible Experience – We had a terrible experience and will never go back. The food wasn't good (the cocktail sauce looked like red glue and tasted gummy, my steak was overcooked even though I stressed how very rare I wanted it cooked, I asked if the onions could be removed from the potatoes au gratin and our waitress told me no, the potatoes au gratin were frozen and came in large bags so nothing could be done to change them!!), the service was poor (we were rushed the entire meal - my husband and I had the feeling that someone else was waiting for our table because our waitress kept trying to take our plates even though we weren't finished eating), and prices were high. We were told there was a dress code, but people were seated wearing blue jeans and white tee shirts. The entire evening could not have been much worse and we will never go back.
Thought I was at Applebees – Well, last Saturday night we had reservations at 8:30 but weren't seated until 8:50. Ok except I found out later they don't insist on reservations, so it appeared they didn't seat us on time because they're seating others without reservations.
I should have been tipped off to problems when I called for reservations and was put on hold halfway through making the reservation, and then someone else different came back on the line and we had to start again.
Another thing I didn't like. Their website says business casual, jacket not required. They seated a lot of people in tee shirts, jeans and tennis shoes. Why even bother with a dress code?
We never had a consistent wait staff we could rely on; the service was unreliable. Not horrible, mind you. But not what I expect from a high end steakhouse.
The drinks were ok as were the entrees and appetizer. But the dessert bread pudding was very dry. The manager kindly took it off without us asking so I give them credit for that, but it was just another in a long list of things.
We seldom go to restaurants unless we expect a very good experience and we had never been to a Del Frisco's but heard good things. We've been to numerous Morton's, Fleming's, a Capital Grille. Been to lots of high end steakhouses in Las Vegas and throughout Texas. We're seldom disappointed. But this left us feeling like we'd been to a very expensive Applebees.
For their sake, I hope it was just a bad night for them. But we will not go back.
One of the Dallas Greats! – This is one of the Dallas Greats when it comes to a good meal. Anytime is a good time to go to Del Frisco's. Food is Five Star, Wine & Bar is Five Star, the only negitive for me is if you get sat near the front door or bar. A little too loud and cramped.
I will continue to go back with my wife as long as we are in Dallas!
The best – Del Frisco's is the best at what they do. Food is always excellent. Service is always fantastic. There's no con I can think of when asked about Del Frisco's. If you are looking for fine dining in the area, there is only one choice. Nowhere else can recreate what goes on here.

I am thrilled to be a part of KitchenAid Cook for Your Mom campaign to celebrate this year's Mother's Day, which falls on May 13. KitchenAid believes that the best way of celebrating Mother's Day is to Cook for Your Mom, and For The Cure®. Why take mom out on the busiest restaurant day of the year when you can avoid the crowds, and show some serious love, by cooking her a homemade meal instead?
Mother's Day is a special day that everyone should observe. It's that time of year when you shower your mother with love—buying her flowers or expensive gifts, taking her out for dinner, or cooking a special meal for her. To echo the Cook for Your Mom campaign, I am sharing a perfect recipe with you that will wow your mom.
I am partial to seafood so when it comes to festivities and celebrations, I always go for a seafood feast. Mother's Day is no exception. All I wanted for this year's Mother's Day is to savor my favorite seafood dish—Cioppino.
Originated from San Franciso, Cioppino is a seafood stew with rich and briny flavors. I love it that there are a ton of seafood in Cioppino: fish, shrimp, clam, mussel, squid, crab, and scallop. But the sweetest thing about Cioppino is that you can pretty much create your own version. If you don't like a certain seafood, feel free to opt it out. For the seafood you like, add more to the stew. If you get good quality ingredients and the freshest seafood, Cioppino is guaranteed to please. I hope my Cioppino recipe inspires you to cook for your mom on the holiday and show her how much you care!
To tie-in with Mother's Day, KitchenAid is sponsoring a giveaway on Rasa Malaysia: one (1) lucky winner will win a very special KitchenAid KSM150PSPK Komen Foundation Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer (retail value: $349.99), in pink color! Head over to the giveaway page now to enter to win.
Happy Mother's Day!
About Cook for Your Mom and Cook for the Cure®:
Raising funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer—a cause close to the hearts of so many mothers—is a way to celebrate moms everywhere and make the day even more special. Through its Cook for the Cure® program, which has generated more than $8 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, KitchenAid offers several ways to support the cause as part of a Mother's Day celebration.
One option is to host a Mother's Day meal, ask guests to contribute to the cause and, in honor of mom, donate the funds to Komen using a donation form available at tinyurl.com/CFTCdonation. For the same amount that might have been spent on flowers, wine or a restaurant tab, families can make a meaningful contribution on her behalf.
Another option is to present mom with an individually-numbered serving platter created by KitchenAid and Villeroy & Boch, using artwork by Pépin, and asking her to pass it to a friend or loved one with a homemade culinary creation. Each time the platter is passed and registered at CookfortheCure.com, KitchenAid will make a $5 donation to Komen. Supporters of this "Pass the Plate" initiative can even track the travels of their platter via the web site. The platter is available for $24.95 at ShopKitchenAid.com and Villeroy & Boch stores.
And finally, for Mother's Day gift givers, KitchenAid offers a collection of pink products that celebrate and help support the Cook for the Cure program. They include the iconic KitchenAid Stand Mixer in soft or bold pink, as well as blenders, hand mixers and more than a dozen culinary gadgets.

Bee, this looks delicious! Happy Mother's Day.
The recipe looks great but it is Italian. San Franciscans claim it but it originated hundreds of years ago in Genoa.
Angela, yep it's Italian origin.
That looks amazing!
I am stilling running around my city looking for a restaurant that can make a decent one! Grrrr! :(
This looks amazing. I am really hoping to be able to get my hands on a kitchenaid.
Hi Chae Cho, where are you at?
In Austin,Tx. Maam! :)
Probably the best I ever had that was close was in San Francisco in a restaurant called Little Joes in 1993.
Looks like some seafood goodness.
Ciao RasaMalaysia,
Cioppino is NOT an italian origin. I say this because I am an Italian. This dish never exist at all. If you go everywhere in Italy and ask for Cioppino, you will never ever find it. In Tuscany, we call it "Cacciucco" and the ingredients calls for at least 12 varieties of seafood. Other places in Italy call it "Zuppa di Pesce".
Good morning! I featured this recipe on my blog today, it looks great! Thanks for allowing me to share. Here is the link http://carriesexperimentalkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/05/week-17-seafood-frenzy-friday.html

I've found tools like CityEngine that can procedurally create a city, and there are plenty of tools to procedurally create plants. Is there any way to make them work together? I'd like to create an apocalyptic city for use in a game, something like I am Legend.
I'd like to procedurally create the buildings of a city, and add in the details like cars and miscellanious street objects into the street. Then I'd like to apply forces to the streets to flip cars and blow things around to add some chaos to the mix, cause a few windows to break and the like. Those I know how to do. But what I'd like is to add the generation of plant life, as if nature was retaking the city. L-systems can simulate real life growth, but I'm not sure how I'd use them to accomplish this. Any ideas?
It'd be even better if the creation was done by the game, like the data for the map/objects was all that had to be stored in order to generate the map. That way the map information could be transfered over a network for multiplayer.

Can anal cancer be found early?
Can anal cancer be prevented?
Since the cause of many cases of anal cancer is unknown it is not possible to prevent this disease completely.
The best way to reduce the risk of developing anal cancer is to avoid infection with HPV or HIV. The risk of these infections is higher for those who have sex with multiple partners and those who have unprotected anal sex.
In people infected with HIV, the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (also called HAART) can lower the risk of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (a kind of anal pre-cancer) and the risk of HPV infection.
Infection with HPV increases the risk of developing anal cancer. Infection with HPV can be present for years without any symptoms; so the absence of visible warts cannot be used to tell if someone has HPV. Even when someone doesn't have warts (or any other symptom), he (or she) can still be infected with HPV and pass the virus to somebody else.
Condoms ("rubbers") do provide some protection against HPV, but they cannot completely protect against infection. This is because HPV can still be passed from one person to another by skin-to-skin contact with an HPV-infected area of the body that is not covered by a condom - like the skin in the genital or anal area. Still, it is important to use condoms to protect against AIDS and other sexually transmitted illnesses that are passed on through some body fluids.
A vaccine called Gardasil® can help protect against infection with HPV subtypes 16 and 18 (as well as 6 and 11). In studies, this vaccine was found to prevent anal and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11 and to prevent anal, vulvar, vaginal, and cervical cancers and pre-cancers caused by types 16 and 18.
This vaccine can only be used to prevent HPV infection -- it does not help treat an existing infection. To be most effective, the vaccine should be given before a person becomes sexually active.
Gardasil was originally only approved for use in women to prevent cervical cancer, but it is now also approved to prevent vulvar and vaginal cancers and pre-cancers (in women) and to prevent anal cancers and pre-cancers in both men and women. It is also approved to prevent anal and genital warts in both men and women.
Cervarix®, another HPV vaccine available in the US, can also be used to prevent infection with HPV types 16 and 18. Although it is only approved by the FDA to help prevent cervical cancers and pre-cancers, a recent study has shown that it is also helpful in preventing anal cancers and pre-cancers.
Smoking is a known risk factor for anal cancer. Stopping smoking significantly reduces the risk of developing anal cancer and many other cancers.

You could add a moen diverter valve to switch from the shower to the hand held.
Another option would be to just use the hand held with a holder.
I just had a bathroom rebuilt, with a tub / shower + handheld; but the handheld is currently not installed because I apparently bought the wrong kind of valve to do all three. I bought a Moen #3320, but didn't realize "3 function" didn't actually mean "3 function".
Not sure why I thought this, I was probably just tired and confused after hours of trying to figure out what I needed, but I had thought that I would be able to use the tub spout to divert between the tub and the shower+handheld, and then use the control on the valve to switch between or merge the shower and handheld.
But apparently not, the valve doesn't have a tub drop. So, the contractor sent one output to the tub and the other to the shower and the handheld is not yet connected.
The question is, is there any way to make this work the way I thought it would? I still have full access to the wall behind the plumbing and can do pretty much anything.
I suppose the easiest thing to do would be just to get a separate diverter valve to split the shower output between the showerhead and handheld, eg something like this. But I'd like if possible to make the tub spout diverter work, if only because (a) I already have it, and (b) Bad Things Happen if you use it.
Any thoughts? Does the moen 3320 have a big brother which includes the tub drop? I'm not opposed to replacing the valve if need be. Or is there some other clever way to do this? Or am I best off getting the separate diverter, and maybe a different tub spout without a diverter?

You used the wrong valve initially, but the easiest way now is the get the diverter that attaches to the shower arm and the hand held connects to it along with the regular head.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
showerhead & arm is transgender -- the showerhead is male and the arm is female instead of the usual reverse setup, and he didn't have or think I could find a diverter attachment that would work. And I think it will look better having the handheld attached to the wall anyway.
Here are some links that might help you figure it out
It seems like I ought to be able to run one output from the 3320 to the handheld (I have the drop elbow for it already, it's just not installed), then run the other into the bottom of some sort of T connector, with the T going into the tub spout and the top of the connector continuing on to the showerhead. Seems like if that would work then it would be just what I'm looking for -- when the tub diverter is up, the moen valve diverts/mixes between the showerhead and the handheld; when the tub diverter is down, the moen valve diverts/mixes between the tub and the handheld.
Is there a reason this wouldn't work?
[edit: or, the same idea, using a twin ell?]

Oxford Utd 2 (Constable 8, Kitson 90+1) Dagenham & Redbridge 1 (Murphy 45+1)
4:59pm Saturday 14th December 2013 in 2013-14 Season By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
DAVE Kitson headed a late goal for the second league game in succession as Oxford United struck in stoppage time to beat Dagenham & Redbridge to stay top of the table.
The veteran rose highest to nod in David Hunt's cross, just as he had to earn a 1-1 draw at Fleetwood Town a fortnight earlier.
This time his effort sealed a precious victory, which had appeared to have slipped from the home side's grasp.
United started brilliantly and James Constable's bicycle kick put them deservedly ahead on eight minutes.
But despite slicing through Dagenham repeatedly, they could not add to their advantage and out of nothing Rhys Murphy equalised with an exquisite chip on the stroke of half time.
The hosts never regained their fluency, but a spell of sustained pressure got its reward through Kitson at the death.
Jake Wright returned to the side after five weeks out with a hamstring injury, while Asa Hall came in after being ineligible for the FA Cup wins at Gateshead and Wrexham.
The pair replaced Matt Bevans and Scott Davies, with the latter forming part of the strongest bench Chris Wilder had been able to name for some time.
The United manager called on his side to emulate their dominant second half display from the draw at Fleetwood - and they delivered in a thrilling start.
For the opening half hour the hosts were utterly in charge, as Dagenham were ripped apart.
Josh Ruffels was the first to show, ghosting past two challenges before having a shot turned round the post by goalkeeper Chris Lewington.
From the corner Johnny Mullins had an effort deflected over, forcing another set piece.
Dagenham cleared the initial delivery, but when it came back in Mullins set up Constable to acrobatically volley the opening goal on eight minutes. It was the cue for a rampant spell, when it looked only a matter of time before the lead would be extended.
Ruffels had another shot well saved and Constable came agonisingly close to connecting with Kitson's cross after the forward had robbed Gavin Hoyte just outside the area.
United created openings virtually every time they won possession.
Lewington saved well from Constable, while both Williams and Kitson volleyed chances wide, all before the 30-minute mark.
Aside from a Zavon Hines shot from the edge of the penalty area which Ryan Clarke smartly parried, the visitors had barely threatened.
It looked as though they were going to be relieved to go in at the break just one goal down, but instead the Londoners came up with an equaliser in stoppage time.
There looked to be little danger when Murphy received the ball just inside the box, but as he ran towards the corner flag the former Arsenal trainee conjured a delicate chip which cleared Clarke and nestled in the far corner.
It stunned the home side, who might have found themselves behind early in the second half as Hines weaved into the area before seeing his shot blocked.
United patiently looked to play their way back into the game, but found Dagenham were a much more solid unit than in the first half.
For much of the half they were only able to threaten in patches, with blocked shots from Hall and Williams all they could muster.
Kitson also picked up a booking for an accumulation of offences. It was his tenth of the season, incurring a two-match suspension.
Sean Rigg was introduced from the bench and in the final 20 minutes United steadily increased the pressure.
The substitute quickly laid on a chance, crossing for Constable to strike a clean volley which was straight at Lewington.
Time ebbed away, but United came up with a grandstand finish in stoppage time, when Kitson finished off Hunt's cross to send the Kassam wild.

It will take time but if the team continues to play as they did yesterday -the stay aways will return. And, the Club have targeted the Plymouth match as 'The Big Match' -and so it might well be in terms of enticing people back in the new year as some of the 'stay aways' or 'part timers' will be in attendance for this- and so the chance to impress?

4 . The all seater , 3 sided wind tunnel of a stadium . Soulless when small clubs bring a handful of fans.
5, The closing of the priory. Good place for a beer , music and food . Mix with away fans and banter.
6. Anti anything to line the pockets of kassam.
7. Too much football on the box , and oxford still playing in a poor league for too long . Hope this helps maybe understanding why I think we have lower crowds , I for one will be driving to York with my son , but didn't go yesterday !!!

The falling attendances are getting very worrying - most of all because they are still falling, when we are top of the league. IMO, there are lots of reasons and most have been highlighted on this thread. Also, there has been no energy, vibe or anything creating interest and talking points around the club, the team or the performances. Having said that, the last couple of games have been a big improvement in terms of results and entertainment - sustain that and crowds will come back. With getting a big crowd on Boxing Day in mind - why are we making so difficult for people to get tickets ? anyone tried to book on line - you can't !!!

Let's hope we can stuff York next week and Plymouth on Boxing Day as our version of Berbatov (Kitson) will be having a break.

Oxford battling performance and the Kitson effect is beginning to tell. 6 points from next two games should help us pull away from the chasing pack, set us up nicely for season finale and promotion.

try a different browser............or waitI don't see a poll.
Can someone help me out? lol
But, you're not alone. I love Brave New World too. But it's not my favorite.
You see that really small percentage on Brave New World? That's me. Yeah. Pretty much I'm the only one who loves that song. I know it's not single worthy or anything, but I can't get enough of it for some reason.
In terms of single material, Ruling Me is pretty great. Unspoken would be unexpected, not sure how well it would do on the radio. Run Away is just awesome though. I actually like every song on the record but I like some more on some days than others.
I was wondering why I saw the poll option in the menu earlier today Sarah haha.

I worked at Avis Budget Group full-time for less than a year
Pros – pay in NYC is about 9.75 hr plus commission which can range from 300-2000 per mth if youre really, really good at selling.
ample training which really helps in selling
really great people to work with, very helpful and kind
Cons – higher management, not the location managers, can be shockingly unprofessional
I was once told by an agent that in this company, if a co-worker complains to upper management about you even if the accusation or complaint is unfair or untrue, they will tell you nothing about it and then fire you one fine day out of the blue with no explanation as to why. Wow!
Advice to Senior Management – Learn some HR skills. You really need them. You are not better than the rental agents. Listen to employee concerns and dont take sides. Be neutral and fair.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

RIDGWAY – The Colorado Democratic Party arrived in Ridgway big-time last Saturday morning, bearing news that the Obama campaign intends to open up a field office in town.
The office, slated to open sometime this week, will be located in the upstairs portion of the same building that houses Cimarron Books and Coffee – the unofficial Ouray County Democratic headquarters.
It was here in a backroom, over steaming cups of strong coffee, that Colorado Democratic Party Chair Rick Palacio gathered with the local party faithful to share what he has been noticing around the state during this election season.
One of the highest-stakes races for Coloradans this year is the one between Sal Pace and Republican Congressman Scott Tipton. Pace, a Democrat, seeks to unseat Tipton to gain a foothold in the U.S. House of Representatives.
But this year, Palacio said, there is much more at stake. Colorado could for the first time play an important role in determining the outcome of the presidential election.
"If we don't turn out to vote, then we are going to lose," he said. "I would not doubt if this election came down to 2,000 or 3,000 votes for the President.
"I think this is the most important election of our lifetime," Palacio went on, pointing out that whoever is elected president will likely appoint Supreme Court justices who will hear challenges on such matters as same-sex marriage, marriage equality and Roe vs. Wade.
"Ouray County, while small, could be the 2,000 votes we need to push us over the edge," he said. "It doesn't matter how big or small the town is. This is going to come down to one or two votes in every precinct across the state."
One advantage Democrats have in Colorado is their solid ground game. Currently, the Obama campaign has 59 field offices across the state. The office in Ridgway will make 60. That's more than in Florida, which has three times the electoral votes.
"We have 400 paid canvassers, and thousands and thousands of volunteers," he said. "We have offices in big cities and the smallest towns we can imagine; we have an office in Fairplay, if that says something about how seriously we are taking this race."
There was a general feeling of dismay, and some venting among the folks who had gathered for the meeting with Palacio, about the degree of polarization that is taking place in this election, both locally and in the state and national political arenas.
One woman confided that she attended the Republican picnic in Colona last summer, just to force herself to recognize the folks in the other camp as fellow human beings.
"Some people told me, 'I'm not as brave as you are,'" she said. "It's important to make those connections so that when you have political differences you can still see people as human...It was a good picnic."
"Most people don't live by the 'D' or the 'R'," Palacio acknowledged. "But I am the chair of the Democratic Party in Colorado; there is not any doubt that I am partisan."
Before climbing back into his big RV to rally more troops down the road, Palacio handed over a special gift to Priscilla Peters, the proprietress of Cimarron Books and Coffee, and Ouray County's Democratic doyenne.
It was a brand new Etch A Sketch, still in its box, signed by U.S. Senator Michael Bennet. Peters received the gift with delight.

Posted by 2f4r on 08/06/2009
NEWINGTON, CT -- I recently replaced four double hung windows in my daughters room that were extremely drafty. I had contacted several window companies as to get several estimates. The first company, Tri-state windows, out of central CT, came out. After 3 hours of listening to why I needed to do all 16 windows in my home (all windows on the main floor were replaced by previous owner 4 years ago) and why there window is the best, was quoted 1200 for each of their windows! The representative called his manager about 3 times to drop the price after I was adamant about not purchasing. they wouldn't even do just the four windows that I wanted!
The next company was FJB from rocky hill, ct. Same thing, 3 hr. presentation, ridiculously high price-5k for 4 standard size windows. salesmen called manager and dropped price to just below 4k. No doubt it is a good window but I do not need a triple pane. Maybe if I lived in Alaska. I had to practically physically remove this man from my home. Would not take No for answer! I can respect his perseverance but c'mon!
The next company was Castle Windows out of Newington. By now I consider myself an expert in windows having sat through two other presentations and hours of research online. (at this point I was considering trying to do it myself). I almost called and cancelled the appt. because I didn't think I could handle wasting 3 more hours of my life. I figured I would give them a chance as my neighbor had some work done by them and he was pleased.
A young salesmen comes right on time, explains what he is going to do right up front, instead of tricking me like the other guys did: "just give me 5 min. of your time, this will just take a sec." He didn't waste a lot of time with the chit chat and we just talked about windows. It took him half the time as the others to explain why his window is awesome and how they are professional, etc., etc. His price was waaayyy better than the others. He started at close to 600 for each window but with my trade-ins (they give $75 for each window) and with the "time management savings program" that every single window company uses we were around 500. At this point, cause I knew the game, I told him to call the manager and I would be willing to put a sign, etc. He chuckled and got me another 5% I said yes, and paid 1/3 down. The other companies wanted 50%. 6 weeks later my windows were in! Two gentleman came and had everything out, in, and cleaned up in half a day. They did an amazing job. I was definitely surprised by their professionalism and know how. The representative wasn't lying when he said that the installers are not subcontractors and are trained on how to "properly"install a window. They were installed in April and no leaks, thank God! I've heard horror stories about people having new windows and they have water damage but these windows are just as the representative promised.
I am writing this as a response to some of the other reviews that are on here regarding castle windows. I understand how you feel with regards to the sales approach, it sucks. But this is how all the window companies do it for some reason. some salespeople are jerks, I guess I got lucky with the one they sent from castle.
I can assure you, you will not regret going with Castle. If you need windows and want no headaches and don't want to spend 1k for a window-these guys are it.

all window installers are subcontractors that work for big companies.....
Posted by Visited by Salesman on 2013-08-01:
The plan stated here, our sales guy said you have to agree to give good reviews (we said 'only if we're happy... which woul be a no brainier if we were, but why state this? If I wasn't happy would I be charged the extra?!?), not share the price you paid, put a sign in our yard, and give them referrals.
He completely lost the sale after calling his manager, who insulted us and tried the 'well they must not be serious about replacing their windows' when the sales guy told him we were expecting about $200/window. By the way, I am a new homeowner and have no idea about how much windows cost to buy and get installed.
13 standard windows would have costed a little more than $10k, but after he sent a text to the factory (at 9pm) he said if we sign today he could do $7.9k.

Defective Window Replacement
Posted by BOB123 on 05/30/2004
PELHAM, NEW YORK -- The long and short of it:
Salesman comes to the house and promises us the world with the quality, and the service that Castle Windows provides its' customers. Within 3 months we had leaks in the frame of the window and according to one of their installers, it was do to not putting a splash plate (Gutter) above the window. (inproper installation). They found this immediately after arriving to inspect it. (2 cancelled appointements later). Next, the top part of this garden window splintered as though there was too much weight on the top portion. Again, we called to have the window replaced and were given every excuse except ("the dog ate my homework")
Just earlier today, 3 months later, we were promised (after the job has been put off from yesterday), that we would have a "Crew" here, Sunday morning, to replace the window. After 3 call this morning, I finally received a call back from Castle. "The "man" was on his way." He would be 3 hours late. (11:00AM VS 8:00 AM)
It is now 3:00 PM and we Just listened to a call that went to our answering machine. "THE INSATLLER HAS A FLAT TIRE AND HAS NO SPARE... HE MAY HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS JOB FOR THE 5TH TIME !!!!!!!
How does a company get away with this???
They come in and sell you a window that typically goes for $1100.00. Their price $2700.00. Then they tell you they can make a special offer for $1700.00. (They can not sell it for less because to the inherent costs and quality). After 2 hours of this sales rep in your face, you go for it.
They promise you garantees and warantees up the Cazoo, BUT.... Once you run into a problem and you are left holding the bag.
They have every excuse in the book why they have to break the appointment from - We have been realy delayed today with other jobs.. TO The installer's (Mike) wife just gave birth and he had to run to the hospital TO The installer got a flat tire and has no spare !!!!!!!!!!!
There are many more ubsurdities to this story that I will share with the public so they do not have to go through the hell we are going though with this company.
Today is Sunday, May 30th, 2004. Tuesday morning, after the Memorial Day Weekend is over,I will be sitting in this same chair contacting the Better Business Bureau for help.
Next -- It is "Shame On You"
Read Company Response
Company Response on 9/14/2010:
Yes, this garden window was installed improperly. The garden window was ultimately replaced (maybe 6 years ago), and we have had NO concerns since.
While we do consider ourselves the best in the industry in customer service and installation, there are times that our windows need service. Windows, just like any other product are man-made, and sometimes do not live up to performance standards. This is why our customers are given a lifetime warranty which covers everything.
You may notice things posted about our company from time to time. Some items may be true and some are made up by competitors. However, it is rare to have a complaint like this regarding the performance of the product or warranty.
It was OUR decision to replace the garden entirely. The top sash of the window had developed a stress crack which we replaced. Then the drip cap had been improperly installed and thus the garden leaked. We did not like the damage to the 'seat board' of the garden that the leak caused, so we re-ordered the unit and put a new one in.
In all fairness I do believe that the rescheduling bit is a greatly exaggerated.
I do challenge the reader to find a company who would replace the entire window under such circumstances. In fact, MOST companies exclude 'improper installation' in their warranties. We do not. With us, you are covered…. For life!!! Make sure that you ask your representative for a copy of their warranty if you are getting an estimate for windows.

This Is Not Castle The Window People
Posted by Windowman on 04/15/2008
This company is not affiliated with Castle The Window People of Mt. Laurel NJ with offices in NJ, NY, PA, OH, MD, CT, RI, MA, ME, VT, NH, DE.
All customers researching this company most know the name was trademarked however many companies exist using the first name Castle, Castle Windows, Castle Replacment Windows, Castle Home Improvements etc...
The logo is similar etc... but the company is not the same.

I got replacement windows installed about 15 years ago by Castle, "The Window People." This company is as bad as the others. When I bought the Windows, I was told I had a lifetime guarantee and warranty as long as I had the windows installed in my house. I called just the other day and was told - oh that was not us. The Virginia company was not the same as us. The problem is is that it is the same logo and everything....so I the company found a way out of their obligation! Shame on You!

Strong Arm Sales Tactics - Is This What You People Do to Make Your Numbers?
Posted by Ronaldgiles on 03/25/2013
MT. LAUREL, NEW JERSEY -- Dear Castle Windows – to the Owner,
The collection notice you sent to me is invalid for the following reasons:
1. The supposedly "free estimate service" was rendered on January 28, 2013.
2. I cancelled the entire order and the measurement appointment on or about Friday, March 01, 2013, first by telephone and then by written notice which was sent to Castle via mail, USPS.
3. No services were rendered, no measurements were taken, no door was constructed.
4. Castle was not harmed, not injured and suffered no financial hardship.
I do not appreciate strong arm tactics, intimidation or "used-car-salesman methods" and no one can legally force me into purchasing something I do not want and $5,678 for a door is extremely overpriced! Is this the only way you people can make your numbers? You are instructed to cease and desist efforts to collect on a bogus claim and to stop trying to violate my civil rights and rights as a consumer.

Did you sign something at the time of the estimate? If so, since this transaction appears to have been done in your home, you had three business days to cancel. If you didn't, it is entirely possible that the door had been ordered, which you are now responsible for. If you didn't sign anything, then a consultation with an attorney may be needed, but with the collection order, my opinion is that you signed a work order when the salesperson was at your house.
Posted by Rick Better on 2013-07-11:
Civil rights as a customer? After 30 days you wanted to cancel an order for work to be done at your home. Sounds like the victim is the company. This is why companys loose money, and people loose jobs that work for a company.

MT. LAUREL, NEW JERSEY -- The window is of good quaility, but the service was very poor. Was suppose to come early in the morning to install the window so that I wouldn't have to take off a full day at work, didn't show up till 11:30 am with no call to let me know that the installers were going to be late.
Took siding from my front door entrance without letting me know so they can match up the correct color for above the new window which was re-moved to install the new Bay window, took over 2 months to replace the vinyl siding over the window. Brought the wrong shade of Vinyl, had to wait another 2 weeks.
The installation Manager said that he would compensate me due to having to take the entire day off from work, which he has not as yet, since November 2012.
I have e-mails from Castle Windows letting me know that they will look into this matter, so far nothing has been done. The Customer Service person did say that the Installation Manager said that he was going to compensate me.
I find this company is un true to their word, now when I do any kind of business with home repairs I will look at the reviews of the company first, or word of mouth from a friend.
Unhappy customer

They were exceptional. The initial meeting was quick, yet very informative, and the entire process was done quickly and within my budget. I feel they offer a quality product and exceptional installation and service.

Needed service
Posted by Susanb1222 on 03/11/2014
I purchased 7 double hung windows almost 2 yrs. ago. Was cleaning outside to top window to install a "Peek Bird's Nest" when top window fell out, then bottom window fell out.
Called Castle Service and technician came 35 min. later and showed me how to fix it should happen again.
Techs name is Scotty. Give him a raise.
Thank You.

Horrible! Take Your Business Elsewhere
Posted by Mskmi on 07/27/2013
MT LAUREL, NEW JERSEY -- After making an initial request for info we were plagued with multiple phone calls on a daily basis. After we informed Castle we were not interested the calls continued. Despite two calls to Castle requesting our name be taken off their call list, the calls persisted.
Several weeks later, calls still coming I asked again to be taken off the list when the caller hung up on me. I immediately called them back to speak to a supervisor to again attempt to have the annoying calls stop. It took a series of 4 rude people until I was connected with an installation manager? (I asked for customer service). Again I was told the calls will stop --hopefully that is the case but this company has very little credibility as far as my experience goes. Do you self a favor and NEVER give these people your phone number!

Posted by Dimaggiocrew on 02/13/2014
MT LAUREL, MARYLAND -- When Castle replaced our windows the installer smeared caulk on our sofa. It was not just a accidental glop that went unseen. The caulk was wiped with a finger then left to dry and ruin my sofa cushion. I was very upset and called Castle as soon as I noticed it. If the installer had the drop cloth over the sofa it would never have done damage. OR if he had cleaned it completely right away or even said something to me I could have cleaned the water soluble caulk fight away and the sofa would have been saved from damage. But NO! he wiped it with a finger and, I guess, hoped I would not notice. Castle sent someone out to my house TWICE to take pictures and REPEATEDLY PROMISED to pay for the recovering of the sofa AND MATCHING CHAIR. BUT every time I called (about 5 times!) the person who needed to handle the problem was conveniently "not in" and I was told "someone would call me to 'work things out' ". I have been repeatedly called by Castle and HARASSED for more business, but can't seen to get the promised call for Castle to "work things out". I have asked to be removed from the call list every time I was called AND reminded the caller I was STILL owed money for my sofa. I have been repeatedly IGNORED and brushed off when is comes to paying for the damage Castle caused.
Last week I was called yet again for more business. I again told the caller about my sofa and I was hung up on! I called back and was hung up on 2 MORE times while waiting to speak to a supervisor. The 4th time I told the girl who answered if I was hung up on again I would call Better Business Bureau and only then did I get someone to talk to. I was told to get a receipt or quote and call back. When I called back to get an email to send the requested quotes I was hung up on 4 MORE TIMES. CASTLE IS NOT CONCERNED with resolving issues!!!

They Can Make an Appointment, They Just Can't Keep the Appointment!
Posted by Taraleeyilmaz on 07/28/2013
MT. LAUREL, NJ 08054, NEW JERSEY -- A salesman came to my home,showed everything about their windows and was very impressive. I put a $1600.00 deposit down and signed an agreement. I agreed to have the window put in soon as possible.
The first appointment was set within a month, when the window was finished being made. The installer called that day and said he was sick and had to reschedule. I called the office letting them know, I took the day off from work and was upset they could not make arrangements for someone else to come out.
The following week, another appointment was made. Again, they canceled due to their truck breaking down on the highway 1 mile from my house. Another day of lost wages with my job. If you want a reputable company you're better off dealing with Definis windows & doors. At least they make appointments and keep it. Since I signed a contract with Castle windows I still wait for my window unable to back out because of being threatened of being taken to court by them. They don't refund your money! And they treat you nasty when they have your deposit. Still waiting? Reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld episode,
"You can make the reservation, You just can't keep the reservation!
George can't stand you

They should have some kind of plan B for last minute cancellations like these. You said you lost two days of wages...did you actually lose two days of wages or did you use a vacation / sick day to cover those two days, which you would have been paid for anyway?

Anyone can make an appointment. The most important part about making an appointment is keeping the appointment.
Posted by yoke on 2013-07-28:
They can take you to court, but you will probably win and get your deposit back. They are the ones unable to fulfill the contract, not you. If they bring you to court make sure you have documents from your job that you took time off to be there.

Leicester Tigers coach Paul Burke credited his team's attitude after snatching a 19-19 draw at home against Northampton Saints.
The visitors scored a second-half try through Alex Corbisiero and lead for the majority of the match, until Leicester fought back in the final quarter and drew level thanks to a try from lock Ed Slater.
Given a scare at home against their East Midlands rivals, Burke criticised the Tigers' accuracy during the majority of the match, especially with the scrum.
"Our accuracy for the first 60 minutes was poor. But the attitude of the players to get themselves back into the game, play in the right areas and squeeze them at the set pieces, was the key to our resurgence in the last 10 or 15 minutes," said Burke.
"That was the plan for most of the game but unfortunately we did not put it into practice.
"But credit must be given to the players for that back end of the game, and I felt we could still have won when we got a scrum five metres out.
"With the way our scrummage was going I was disappointed to see the ball come out of the back.
"We had opportunities but our error count was too high. It's an area we have to look at because our error count in the last three of four games has been too high."
Northampton boss Jim Mallinder was pleased with the way his team attacked Leicester away from home, but understandably frustrated to have been unable to pick up the win.
"I thought our attacking game was good. We created a lot of opportunities and scored a good try," said Mallinder.
"When we were 10 points up we had an opportunity to kill the game but could not get anything out of it.
"And what you don't want to do is let Leicester get back on track and get their tails up at home. The crowd got behind them and we had a couple of decisions go against us in that last 15 minutes.
"It was there to win, but we have proved in the first five games that we have got a good side and are playing good rugby. We are playing as a team and we put Leicester under a lot of pressure."

Last fall, Bryan Silverman called a barbecue restaurant a mile from his campus at Duke University to ask the owner whether he would be interested in saving a little money on his facilities costs. The owner, Bill Whittington, was intrigued. Mr. Silverman offered The Blue Note Grill in Durham, N.C., free toilet paper printed with a Quick Response (QR) code ad for the restaurant, as well as ads for other local businesses, in exchange for stocking the toilet paper in the Blue Note's bathrooms.
On Social Media
Generating revenue along with the buzz.
It has been nearly a year since Mr. Whittington started using the toilet paper ad to offer a buy-one-get-one-free dessert coupon. He says the marketing move has been good for his business in a couple of ways. "The toilet paper is a great gimmick for the restaurant," he said. "On a busy night, we'll see customers come out of the bathroom with a foot and a half of toilet paper, and everyone at the table will be looking at it." It creates a lot of conversation in the restaurant, too. "People ask if they can take some with them if they are traveling from out of town," he added.
The concept was the brainchild of Mr. Silverman and his brother, Jordan, who founded Star Toilet Paper in 2011. Jordan Silverman got the idea while he was sitting in the bathroom reading his smartphone. "I was on an app and an ad popped up. Then I thought, 'Advertising has pervaded so many parts of our lives, why not place ads in places where people actually want to read?'" He realized it was a perfect marriage and started working with his brother to bring the idea to market. Read more…

We're having some
catastrophic minor computer issues preventing us from being able to upload the new Three Percent podcast, but as soon as the website computer stops restarting every three seconds and every three seconds and every three seconds, you'll be able to hear an hour of Tom and I chatting up the 2013 books that we're most looking forward to. (We covered approx. 18 books in this podcast and only talked about women's soccer for a bit . . . It's definitely one of our best shows.)
Anyway, in the meantime, to continue to feed everyone's excitement about what you could read this year, here's a new 2013 preview from Writers No One Reads.
This is a really solid list, and includes some books that didn't appear on the preview at The Millions, or Scott Esposito's "Interesting New Books" list. Here are a handfrul from the WNOR list that I'm curious about:
Georges Perec (trans. Daniel Levin Becker), La Boutique Obscure (Melville House). Will answer the burning question: did Perec's dreams operate under constraints?
Arnon Grunberg (trans. Sam Garrett), Tirza (Open Letter). The latest novel by Grunberg, who has also published fiction under the pseudonym Marek van der Jagt, to be translated into English is perhaps his darkest yet.
Jacob Slauerhoff (trans. Paul Vincent), The Forbidden Kingdom (Pushkin). The early 20th century Dutch classic, included on the list of "1001 Novels You Must Read Before You Die," finally available in English.
Severo Sarduy (trans. Mark Fried), Firefly (Archipelago). A richly lyrical coming of age tale of a boy with a head too big and a sense of direction too poor to do anything but get him into trouble in pre-Castro Cuba.
Nathalie Sarraute (trans. Barbara Wright), Childhood (Univ. of Chicago). A reprint of Sarraute's memoir, with a new forward by Alice Kaplan.
Jean-Marie Blas de Robles (trans. Mike Mitchell), Where Tigers Are At Home (Other Press). A massive tale of intrigue spanning centuries, with 17th century scholar and man of dubious science Athanasius Kircher at its heart. Winner of the Prix Medicis.
Carlos Rojas (trans. Edith Grossman), The Ingenious Gentleman and Poet Federico Garcia Lorca Ascends to Hell (Yale). A fantastical tale about the death and afterlife of poet Garcia Lorca, translated by Edith Grossman.
Luis Chitarroni (trans. Rhett McNeil), The No Variations (Dalkey Archive). A classic of Latin American metafiction compared to the work of David Markson and Cesar Aira.
Elfriede Jelinek (trans. Damion Searls), Her Not All Her (Sylph Editions). Jelinek takes on Robert Walser in this play about the writer's life and work.
Stig Dagerman (trans. Steven Hartman), To Kill a Child (Godine). A collection of stories by one of the most famous forgotten Swedish writers.
Jorge Luis Borges (trans. Katherine Silver), Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature (New Directions). A previously untranslated collection of Borges' lectures on English literature.
Imre Kertesz (trans. Tim Wilkinson), Dossier K (Melville House). A self-interview that blends memoir and fiction written by the oddly neglected Nobel laureate.
Adolfo Bioy Casares and Silvina Campo (trans. Levine & Campbell), Where There's Love, There's Hate (Melville House). Husband and wife team and collaborators with Borges brought back into print.
Ror Wolf (trans. Jennifer Marquart), Two or Three Years Later: Forty-Nine Digressions (Open Letter). An "anti-book" of short stories by a writer who mines a similar vein as two Roberts: Walser and Pinget.
Curzio Malaparte, Coup D'Etat (Enigma Books). Subtitled "The Technique of Revolution," this is a translation of the book that earned Malaparte a jail sentence in Mussolini's Italy. Malaparte's novel The Skin will be reprinted by NYRB Classics this spring.
Marguerite Duras (trans. Ali & Murphy), L'Amour (Open Letter). A previously untranslated novel by Marguerite Duras.
Almantas Samalavicius, The Dedalus Book of Lithuanian Literature (Dedalus). A century-spanning collection of Lithuanian literature, reflecting the culture's changing political and artistic position.
So many good books . . .
The historian John Lukacs observed, "Fictitious characters may represent characteristic tendencies and potentialities that existed in the past" and thus "may serve the historian under certain circumstances—when, for example, these are prototypical representations of certain contemporary realities." Eugen Ruge's In. . .
Gustavo Faverón Patriau's The Antiquarian, translated by Joseph Mulligan, is a genre-blending novel, a complete immersion that delves into a lesser-used niche of genre: horror, gothic, the weird. There are visual horrors, psychological ones, and dark corners with threats lurking.. . .
What a wonderful, idiosyncratic book Weinberger has written. I say book, but the closest comparison I could make to other works being published right now are from Sylph Edition's "Cahiers Series"—short pamphlet-like meditations by notable writers such as Ann Carson,. . .
Early in Sun-mi Hwang's novel The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, the main character, a hen named Sprout, learns about sacrifice. After refusing to lay any more eggs for the farmer who owns her, she becomes "culled" and released. . .
When Sankya was published in Russia in 2006, it became a sensation. It won the Yasnaya Polyana Award (bestowed by direct descendants of Leo Tolstoy) and was shortlisted for the Russian Booker and the National Bestseller Award. Every member of. . .
Stalin is Dead by Rachel Shihor has been repeatedly described as kafkaesque, which strikes a chord in many individuals, causing them to run to the bookstore in the middle of the night to be consumed by surreal situations that no. . .
Paradises by cult Argentinian author Iosi Havilio is the continuation of his earlier novel, Open Door, and tells the story of our narrator, a young, unnamed Argentinian woman.
The very first sentence in Paradises echoes the opening of Camus's The Outsider. . .

TELLURIDE – Plans to build a new permanent home for the Telluride Science Research Center took a huge leap forward earlier this week.
In a work session on Tuesday morning, May 14, the Telluride Town Council gave its general thumbs-up for TSRC to enter into a public/private partnership the Town of Telluride to secure land for the construction of a world-class science center in the heart of town.
TSRC's vision is for a 30,000-35,000 square-foot science facility to be constructed on town-owned land consisting of the Youth Link lot plus that portion of the existing Marshal's Office building now known as the "community room," that would attract leading scientists from across the globe to convene and collaborate in Telluride.
TSRC, founded in 1984, is already a thriving organization that is largely fulfilling this mission. Currently, however, scientists convene and collaborate over the summer months at the Telluride Middle/High School, often smooshed into cramped, uncomfortable quarters as they conduct cutting edge research and discussion in molecular science, solar fuels science, and a host of other fascinating fields.
"A year-round building designed to meet the needs of scientists will enable TSRC to reach it's full potential," TSRC Executive Director Nana Naisbitt told council. "In turn, TSRC can provide the maximum level of benefits to the town. It is a classic win-win."
In recent months, officials from Vail, Durango and Mountain Village have all approached TSRC, offering incentives for the science center to relocate to their communities. Naisbitt stressed that TSRC's preference is to stay in Telluride, however, as long as plans for the construction of a permanent home for the organization continue to move forward.
Council passed a resolution in 2011 supporting TSRC's vision for a permanent facility, and identified the advancement of the project among its primary goals and objectives for 2013, as a means of cultivating economic development, diversity and sustainability and promoting the intellectual industry and educational institutions within the town.
The project proposal has been in final stages of development for months now, with many behind-the-scenes meetings between the Town and TSRC, but Tuesday was the first time that Naisbitt presented the project's full scope to council in a public session, describing an energy-responsible, "net-zero" building with classrooms, an auditorium, living quarters, a cafeteria, wide hallways and open space, built in a campus-like atmosphere "for the creative interaction of some of the world's best molecular scientists."
Naisbitt stressed the many benefits that TSRC already brings to the community, ranging from economic (TSRC currently brings approximately 1,200 scientists and $4.5 million to Telluride, and that number is projected to significantly grow if a new permanent facility is built); to cultural (TSRC scientists represent 80 different countries by birth and comprise 40 percent of attendees); to educational (scientists volunteer their time to the Town Talk science lecture series, the Pinhead Punk Science program, Pinhead's Scholars in the Schools program, and by mentoring local interns in Telluride and throughout the world).
The construction of the new science center would only serve to augment these existing benefits, Naisbitt said. In addition, the center would include an auditorium and community room which could provide space for other community functions when science sessions are not taking place.
Naisbitt asked for multiple of concessions from the town, including waivers of a number of application and permit fees.
"It's a small investment up front for a truly huge return year after year," she stressed.
TSRC has engaged the services of a capital campaign strategist to raise funds for the multi-million dollar project. Meanwhile, after the successful outcome of Tuesday's work session, attorneys representing the Town and TSRC will work together to negotiate a long-term lease of the town-owned land (at a rate of $1 per year), with a target date of Aug. 31 for official council approval.
The project proposal calls for the Town and TSRC to enter into a two-tiered lease approach. As outlined by Town Manager Greg Clifton, the first tier or phase would be formulation of an Agreement to Lease ("ATL") wherein the Town would agree to lease the property to TSRC for the Science Center pending satisfaction of numerous specific performance standards. Provided those conditions have been met, the second phase would commence, wherein a long-term property lease would become effective and construction would be implemented
Once the lease is signed, TSRC will begin in raising seed money for the building design and approval, with a capital campaign beginning in earnest next fall. Throughout the process, TSRC will continue to meet with the Town regularly to report on benchmarks and milestone accomplishments, with the goal of breaking ground in 2017 for a 2018 opening.
Supportive locals packed into the meeting room on Tuesday to hear what Naisbitt had to say, and afterwards many of them got up to speak in favor of the project. Council, too, had mostly positive comments on the proposal, which for now will move full steam ahead.
"We cannot be a successful community unless we have economic diversification," Councilor Thom Carnevale said. "This is a very positive step for the community. It may need a little fine tuning, but I am very supportive. (The proposed project) will enhance our town's economic diversity and stability; it is a very positive thing for community."

Hawks' 12th-Man Maze, Zombie 'Sneak Peek' Party
Headline 2013 Season at Maris Farms
The 2013 Season at Maris Farms opens with the "Thanks 12th Man" corn maze on Oct. 5th and a walking dead party that's "to die for" on Sept. 28th. This year's maze is a tribute to our state's NFL team and the vaunted 12th man fans – it's definitely worth "taking stalk" in this year's maze. 710 ESPN Seattle is planning a special day on Oct. 5th at the farm to help raise money for the Hawks Charity of the Month! You can check out details by clicking on the link below (under "What's New This Year?").
The inaugural Zombie 'Sneak Peek' Party at Maris Farms – a pre-season event that is to die for – is slated for Sept. 28th, at the rural farm between Bonney Lake and Buckley. It has replaced the Zombie Fun Run, which event organizers felt was scheduled much too late to organize and promote properly, let alone compete with the number of other running event options available to people. The Zombie 'Sneak Peek' Party is an opportunity for the south sound's growing zombie population to gather and enjoy some food, drink and a sneak peek of the farm's Harvest of Terror attractions during their dress rehearsal performances. The Harvest of Terror is a pair of devilish terror featuring a zombie thrill-kill attraction called The Monster Safari and a creepy walk through the corn and forest called The Haunted Woods. You can check out details by clicking on the link below (under "What's New This Year?").
You'll also enjoy the 6-acre pumpkin patch and free hayride, weekend entertainment, great food (roasted corn, turkey legs and juicy burgers and an unbelievable chili/frito/cheese/onion combo) and plenty of early season discount deals (radio promotions, military specials, Perks, etc.) It's good, wholesome, value-driven family entertainment, as well as a delight for those seeking a thrilling and scary haunted adventure.
What's New this Year?
