12) What is the Awixa Castle?
The Awixa Castle is Joe and Julie Weiss' home. They purchased it in 2000 as a giant 20,000 sq. foot "handyman special". Over the last 10 years they have renovated it, making it look as it might have in 1904, when the house was originally built. The Awixa Castle is located on 3 acres of land and is 350 feet from the water. It truly is a wonderful setting for an outdoor party! You can see it at our website: www.awixacastle.com or more about the party at www.awixacastle.com/party.html.
