Felix and Fingers made an epic return to the Kickapoo Creek Winery this weekend as Greg and I headed down there for a Dueling Pianos show! Â Mike and I had actually been to the Kickapoo Creek Winery earlier this year for a wedding (read about it here!) and the place makes for a GORGEOUS wedding venue. Â I was excited to return this time with Greg to experience firsthand some of the other events they have going on all the time! Â The place was completely transformed for a very festive Halloween theme, and guests of all ages (over 21 at least) enjoyed an amazing buffet for a fun-filled dinner-and-a-show type evening!
 Events at Kickapoo Creek Winery
I would qualify just showing up and looking around at the Kickapoo Creek Winery as an event in and of itself. Â This place is beautiful- inside and outside! Â It seemed like a great place to come and enjoy a glass of wine outside on their patio when we were there in the summer for a wedding, but it was equally beautiful in the fall! Â The leaves changing and already scenic views made for the perfect atmosphere to kick back, relax and have a great time. Â Along with weddings and private events suited well for their sizable banquet room, they are always hosting wine tastings, trivia nights and other fun events. Â We were thrilled to be part of what we hope will be a regular occurrence- a dueling show aimed at getting guests to have a great time singing, dancing and laughing along while enjoying a nice glass of wine!
 
A Different Show Each Time…
One of my favorite things about dueling is that every time we play, it’s a different show. Â That’s because we cater directly to the audience we’re playing for by taking requests and reading the situation every way we know how to. Â Tickets for this event at the Kickapoo Creek Winery were open to anyone interested, so naturally this particular crowd was very diverse. Â One might think this would normally make for a difficult crowd to read, but they made it clear from the beginning they were united in a few common goals: to sing along to anything recognizable, to enjoy their evening, and to get some sick and twisted pleasure out of trying to embarrass us. Â (Let’s just say I was goaded into doing a certain Lonely Island tune of which I’m not necessarily proud.) Â By the end, I’m not sure who had more fun, us or the crowd!
No matter what the occasion, the Kickapoo Creek Winery in Edwards, IL is a great place to unwind with friends, family, or even a fun date night. Â Personally I can’t wait till the next time I get to visit, and if you haven’t been yourself it is a must-see if you’re anywhere near the Peoria area!
