This week I was at a reception held at Fox Banquets, formerly known as Michiels. The website is MichielsFoxBanquets.com. My visit reminded me of what a classy place this one, one that we used a few years ago for a wedding reception for one of our sons. It's in the heart of Appleton, overlooking the Oneida Flats area from the edge of the steep hill that goes from downtown Appleton toward the river, just east of the Oneida Skyline Bridge. They have one of the nicest views of any place in the Valley and a beautiful interior as well with two floors and a variety of rooms for meetings and events. They also have a catering service, Rivertyme Catering, which is an approved caterer for events at the Performing Arts Center, so you know they are good.
