At what age did you start to recognize positive characteristics in animated characters?

The KidKraft Disney Dollhouse Dance & Dream Castle (which you can check out here) royally stands at 4ft tall and lets a doll dress up in their finest attire to twirl the night away on a rooftop patio to 3 dreamy songs and explore 8 Disney Princess themed rooms throughout the castle.

Oh my! An invitation to the ball! How exciting! Precious KidKraft Disney Princess Dance & Dream Castle lets dolls dress up in their finest attire and then dance the night away on the rooftop. Press the tiara button to play three dreamy songs and watch princesses twirl around to the music. The unique design provides storage for jewelry and accessories on the front faade. Inside youll find regal furniture ready for royal stories.

Whats neat about opening up this Disney dollhouse is the sound! The interior mechanisms not only play music on the elegant rooftop balcony but when its time for play, a magical harp sounds when your little kid creator opens the door.

Likewise, when playtime is over, parents can close the doors enclosing all the action figures inside with the furniture. Its an easy cleanup. Is your little Disney princess fan playing dress up along with their toys? The doll house balconies on the exterior are creatively themed to capture jewelry or scarves in the crown points to drape the Castle in extra fun.

Included with the KidKraft Disney Princess Dance & Dream Castle is twenty royal furniture pieces like a bed fit for Princess Aurora, a dining set for Tiana, a dressing wardrobe set for Cinderella, and a bathtub for Ariels mermaid fins! Step down the staircase in front of the grand clock to the music room, where youll find a baby grand piano to practice your music lessons.

Peek at the wallpaper lining each room, and youll see Ray buzzing around the cakes, Flounder and Sebastian in the bathroom, and Cogsworth in the library. Even Lucifer has a spot on the couch! Everyones favorite fairytale is included in the small details, leading to exciting play.

When your dolls are ready for the ball, step up to the rooftop where there are places for four dolls to stand and dance the night away. The center front golden button plays the three songs for entertainment. The Disney KidKraft dollhouse even has tiny steps for the Princess dolls to make their way up, and hopefully not lose a beautiful glass slipper on the way down!

The Event Barn at Mahr Park Arboretum is nearing completion with just some small details left to complete, according to Mahr Park Arboretum Director Ashton Robinson.

To celebrate the completion of the renovation, the city will be hosting an open house at the more than 5,000 square foot event venue on Friday.

The open house will span most of the day to allow for the community to visit with COVID safety measures in place.

We will welcome our business and organization visitors from noon to 3 p.m. and the community from 3 to 6 p.m., according to Sara Lutz, public relations director for Madisonville. We will be serving refreshments throughout the day. We are also very excited to feature several local music artists playing on the beautiful outdoor patio during the event.

Musical performances will include Rufus Baker and Julia Sizemore from noon to 1:30 p.m., Rachel Crick and Hunter Bishop from 1:30 to 3 p.m., Spencer Holley from 3 to 4 p.m., Johnny Keyz from 4 to 5 p.m. and Luci Bess from 5 to 6 p.m.

The space provides a catering kitchen, back patio, VIP room, a space for a band, buffet or party space, furnished entry and registration room, roll-up glass doors, rustic wood beams and batten walls, herringbone wood features and white round tables and chairs.

The outside patio is about 3,600 square feet, and offers a big area for outside events, said Robinson.

Robinson said she expects the event space to be a way to make the Madisonville area more marketable.

I think it will encourage a lot of people to come into the park and bring more people in even from out of town visiting for conferences or weddings, said Robinson. I think the community needs a place like this. Theres not a place like this in Madisonville.

Robinson said bookings have already been made this week.

As far as using the facility, we are just following CDC guidelines whatever they are at the time and we will change with them whatever it may be, said Robinson. We have started booking this week and open house is kind of the kick off of that.

In the event of a fire

Flee the minute calamity becomes imminent, and certainly if you are told to evacuate.

Take your disaster kit and important documents with you.

Back your car into an open space to load it, leaving it pointed in the direction you plan to head. While you load up, leave the cars doors unlocked and the key in the ignition.

If the fire has hit your house before youve had time to escape, check the temperature of any doorknob you need to use before you open it. A hot knob means the flames are close on the other side of the door. Pick another exit.

If you have to flee through a room on fire, crawl so you will be below the smoke level.

Throw on a heavy coat to protect against burning embers.

If you have time and winds arent high

Wet down the roof of your hose with a garden hose. But emergency officials say dont try to be a hero. They dont want to waste valuable time they could use to fight the fire to rescue you.

To reduce or slow the spread of fire, move combustible patio furniture inside, or at least to the other side of the house from where the fire is approaching. Flaming embers will have less to ignite.

17 of the Most Expensive Homes for Sale in the Coulee Region - Winona Daily News

People are just really lonely right now, my neighbor Gavin Mogan told me, as I sat on my front porch watching him water some patches of sod hed brought over.

Theres this one guy, whose yard I work on, who literally comes out and walks with me as I mow ... just to have someone to talk to.

Gavin isnt a landscaper by trade, but this pandemic has pushed him into new ventures. He has Parkinsons disease and has spent the better half of the last decade as a fitness coach for others struggling with this same condition. The mind-body connection when it comes to this disease is crucial, and he has always understood that.

However, with the outbreak of COVID-19, his clientele began to dwindle. Fewer people were comfortable leaving their homes when it could mean truly putting their lives at risk. So Gavin adapted, as hes been doing since his own diagnosis in 2008.

Initially, he started recruiting others with Parkinsons disease (those still able to go outside) to partner with him doing yardwork around local neighborhoods for a little extra money. But as their abilities ebbed and flowed, he began offering the opportunity to anyone who might need it the teenage kid next door who wants to earn a few bucks and the man he met at a gas station who was out of work due to the pandemic and now living in his car. Sometimes they showed, sometimes they didnt, but either way Gavin is always there, working.

Most of the time he just appears in my front yard, trimming tree branches or power-washing my sidewalk. A few times Ive told him that I couldnt really afford his services at the moment and hed tell me its something he meant to do the prior week when wed hired him to just mow our lawn, so not to worry about paying for the maintenance, which was really so much more. Hed say its medicine to him and that he needed to do it. Because, again, that mind-body connection is real.

On days when he doesnt have any clients, he drives around the neighborhood and finds lawns in need of some TLC. He told me hell do them for free or what little money the person can pay. He showed me a picture of one backyard that looked like a jungle. He cleared it all out for $20.

When I told him that job was worth so much more he said, Yeah, but I knew she couldnt afford more than that. He explained that she was an elderly woman living on her own, and it was obvious she needed a little help and that it goes both ways. It helps him too.

We talked about how so many of us are struggling with low-grade depression right now. Were trapped inside with no end in sight. The only human connection many of us are getting right now is online, and its often at a fever pitch made up of pent-up emotions. Everyone is screaming at us that the sky is falling.

Normally, we can get away from that. Just walk outside and interact with others to remind ourselves that screens offer a skewed view of reality. But, for many, thats not an option these days.

Gavin explained that when we look out and see a mess all around us in our yards, it can feel like an outward expression of what were already feeling inside.

When people can see something nice outside their windows, it just might make what theyre experiencing internally feel more manageable," he said.

Ive experienced this firsthand. Last month, he cleared out all of the brush from our side yard; a place we barely ever go, full of wild, overgrown rosebushes. I honestly never really think about it, I just close the blinds and ignore the overgrowth.

But now, when I open our kitchen window, I see a clear space. And somehow it feels like I have more room to breathe because of it, even amidst this quarantine.

As I sat on my porch, I thought about the older gentleman who walks with Gavin, shouting over the mower, just to have some semblance of human connection.

That must be so hard, I thought, living alone during a pandemic. At least I have a partner and a houseful of children. As Gavin continued watering, I realize Id been talking his ear off for 30 minutes, so perhaps even I have a need for that type of calming human connection.

And thats when it hit me Gavin is offering more than just lawn care. In so many ways hes offering mental care. Hes helping those of us who need to know were not alone. Hes adding a bit of beauty among this chaos.

Hes reminding us that even though the online world may be a mess right now, the real world still exists, and people who care about their communities and neighbors are just outside our door.
