MEET THE NEIGHBORS
MENTZ - St. Roch Catholic Church in Mentz deserves the short seven mile drive. The church has been serving the community of Mentz since 1858. A beautiful sight to behold, St. Roch Catholic Church is an active parish that holds Mass Saturday at 4 p.m., Sunday at 10:30 a.m., Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and Friday at 8 a.m. Mentz is a rural community in Colorado County, originally settled by German immigrants who named the settlement after their former homeland in Germany.
WEIMAR - Weimar’s picturesque downtown bustles with businesses, shops, great eateries, antique shops and a tavern where locals play dominoes and German card games. Whistling Duck Vineywards and Winery offers award-winning wines, delicious appetizers and meal selections, and live music every Saturday. You’ll find them at 1211 County Road 273.
FAYETTEVILLE - Some cyclists enjoy the rolling hills of Fayetteville’s countryside, pedaling past fields of grazing cattle, regal live oaks, and historic homes. Then there are cyclists that want to take a more adventurous approach, choosing gravel routes with water crossings and craggy challenges. The Rock ‘n Road 100 cycling challenge ticks both those boxes with their one-of-a-kind event that gives riders a choice between an epic gravel route or an amazing road ride that start and finish in downtown Fayetteville. The event is held every November. Another cycling event with a long history in Fayetteville is the Good Old Summertime Classic, always the first Sunday in June.
SHERIDAN - Although there are many great reasons to travel 27 minutes south to Sheridan, Splashway Waterpark and Campground is a popular destination that you won’t want to miss. In addition to state-of-the-art waterslides and wave pools, Splashway offers cabin rentals, RV sites, tent sites and cottage rentals. From the minute you arrive to the minute you leave, Splashway focuses on providing you with more wholesome activities, family events and fun, and space to stretch out so your family can relax together and strengthen your ties. While you’re there, stop by the Sherican Dairy Delight for one of the best burgers you’ll ever have and splurge on their homestyle fries and a Coke float.
