Kansas City Irish Fest Lowdown Part 6

Children’s Village

You have entered, the Children’s Village at the North end of the Crown Center Terrace. The hours are open until 9 PM. To enter this place an adult must be accompanied by a child, because we don’t let grownups in by themselves.

Craft Tent

There is so much to do, where do we begin? Let’s begin at the Craft Tent . Run by talented Miss Julie, who owns the wonderful Arts and Crafts place, “Artrageous” and Miss Cassie (who is the Kid’s Club Liaison). This year, they are making Family Crests, you design your own, and so everything you put on the crest should mean something special to you.

And they will be making Pirates and Fairies. Use your

imagination, have fun and make your craft to take home. Word to the wise, let Mom and Dad hold it when you jump!

Bingo/Coloring Tent

Have you ever played KC Irish Fest Bingo ? Yes, it is really Bingo and yes, you win prizes. Look at the schedule above and join us! The KCIF Symbol is the Free Space on the board!

We have coloring in the Children’s Area just like the Wee Ones, and yes, the prizes are by age-group. You know sometimes, you just need to sit and color! It is both relaxing to get off of your feet every now and then, and sometimes you need to let your colors shine.

Wackalaylee

Have you ever seen a Wackalaylee? They come from the same place as the Leprechauns, who shared with us this secret. A wackalaylee is a piñata; yes, really! It is an Irish piñata. And you whack it. So, you save a little bit of your energy and you put a hole in this pirate or fairy and candy and prizes pour out for you to share with you other 100 best friends at the Festival. Obviously everyone wins on this one, and you must be under 13 to play! Sorry adults and teens, if you are good, the kids may share a piece of candy!
