“    Why TOP Spot?:   When deciding on a name for our company, we wanted it to reflect our vision. 

    Tumbling. Tumbling is a great way for children to gain body awareness and a fun way to work toward meeting developmental milestones--no matter how long it takes to achieve them. Tumbling includes tot classes. 

   Organized Play. Meeting a child where they are developmentally has been our goal from the beginning.  With the exception of Family Play times, all other activities are strategically organized with fun engaging play activities that will teach children skills that will help them in various areas of their lives including at school, home, sports, and socially. 

    Spot.  Our daughter and son are the brightest spot of our day. TOP Spot is a place families can come together and bond through organized play with the goal of it being the bright spot of your family's day.” - Bobby and Alana

 “My business name is Polar Opposites Photography, I shoot many local bands in the music scene such as Inverted Vision, Aether Aura, Sinsiter Fate, and many more! I’ve been doing music photography since 2018 but started taking it seriously around 2020 where I started marketing myself during shows and uploading them to my website. Through and through I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people in the local music scene and it’s definitely not something I’ll be straying away from anytime soon!“ -Amanda
