Ceramics For You by: Gabriella from W.C. Petty Elementary School in Antioch

My favorite place to go in Antioch is Ceramics For You.

When you first get there you go in and see all of these ceramics. Then a worker will greet you. Next, they get you settled and help you through the steps. You can choose three colors of paint to use. You can paint piggy banks, plates, pots, pans, cups, little statues, cooking supplies and a lot more. The workers tell you that you have to paint 3 or more coats on your project. You then get to use a blow dryer and dry your ceramic, but you have to blow dry it after each coat of paint. I always go with my mom for a mother-daughter day. My mom does cooking supplies so she does not have to keep on paying for such expensive things. I always paint the piggy banks.

You can also have your birthday there. You can choose the subject on what the party will be then you can choose the ceramics you get to paint during the party.

One more thing they offer is ceramic classes. In class you get the make the stuff out of clay and paint or you can use glass to make snakes.

Ceramics For You is my favorite place to go in Antioch and I can't wait until I can go again.

Genesee Theatre by: Amelia N. from W.C. Petty Elementary School in Antioch
I love to go to the Genesee Theatre! I go there not just for play, I will even go there for my dance competitions. So I have even been on the stage and in the dressing rooms.

I also love going to see the Nutcracker, they always do it near Christmas. My mom said that maybe this year I could try out and maybe I could get a part in the ballroom scene. But I am a little to busy to be doing something like that.

This is my favorite place to go in Lake County and it could be yours also!!

Apple Orchard by: Taylor H. at the W.C. Petty Elementary School in Antioch
The Apple Orchard in Antioch, Illinois is the most funnest place to visit. There are many shops there. In the shops there's a lot of stuff made out of apples, like cider, apple sauce, jelly and more. When I went into the shop, I got a yummy cookie. The cookie was shaped as a pumpkin with orange sprinkles on top. It was so delicious I didn't want to share with my little sister.

After I ate my cookie I went with my mom to pay for the apple picking in the orchard. After we paid we went into the apple park right next to us. In the park there is a big truck that takes you to the orchard. I saw people still searching for apples and people getting in the pumpkin patch to get a pumpkin. When we were in the truck, I saw a lot of animals in the trees. Sadly they were fake. We stopped and got off the truck and starting looking for apples. It took us a long time to find the apples.

After about five minutes my mom found an apple. Then after a few more minutes she found more than four trees filled with apples. I had a great time at the Apple Orchard.
