Things to Do

Aerial Trapeze Academy

As a kid, going to the circus was exciting. Remember the excitement you felt the first time you witnessed the Flying Trapeze and imagined what it must feel like to soar through the air. There is no other feeling quite like it. Book your event, party, or class with the Aerial Trapeze Academy. Run Away with the Circus, Be Home in Time For Dinner!

During your lesson, you will first have a quick ground lesson with a low practice bar. Then they will coach you through their beginner friendly position, called a knee hang. After the knee hang, you will be instructed to do a back-flip dismount into the net. They teach by repetition. You'll have several opportunities to master the skills necessary to succeed. An ATA Staff will give you a visual demonstration of what this all looks like up in the air before you go.

At the end of the class, you will have the opportunity to do a mid-air transfer with a professional catcher. In order to be "ready" for the catch, you must hook your knees in the right timing and take your hands off. If you are not "ready" for the catch. That's no problem, its scary up there! :) They do ask for you to please stay and cheer on the others. They will be taking a group picture at the end of class and its fun for everyone to be involved.

There is a safety device that travels up the ladder with you. All participants are in safety harnesses and safety lines, with a trapeze safety net below. There will be ATA Staff at each station of the trapeze assisting you every step of the way.

BallenIsles Sales - 2014

What a year!!!! Compare this year's 106 sales with 92 in 2013 and 48 in 2009. The trend is UP and there has been almost 20% increase in sales just this past year alone. Inventory has has shrunk DOWN to just 42 properties currently on the market. Why? Sellers sense the market upturn but are reluctant to sell without a choice of properties to purchase. Buyers, who have waited, now feel confident in the market and fear future increases in price. Compare the 2013 average list/sold price $581,572/$511,987 and average market time of 235 days to 2014 average list/sold price $624,137/$568,940 and average market time of 167 days. The numbers say it all. Buyers see value and know the time to purchase is NOW. Sellers have noticed that the time to move on or trade up is NOW!
