Hundreds of people attended the open house for Crimson Lane wedding and event center on Saturday afternoon. The new multimillion dollar facility is a dream come true for brides and grooms...and for the owners, Mike and Jody Willeke.

Incredibly, 45 weddings already have been booked. The Willekes did their homework, determining that a weddings venue is needed in the area. Shortly after construction began last spring, future brides began to reserve dates for their dream wedding at Crimson Lane.

The time changes this weekend. Fall back one hour. In other words, if you go to bed at 11 p.m. on Saturday, change your clocks to 10 p.m. You gain an hour of sleep. There will be more daylight in the mornings, which is a safety factor for children going to school; but, you’ll loose an hour of daylight in the evenings.
