We need to talk about munchies...

GRAND STAND FOOD AND FUN


Let’s walk up the street (Grand) from the Park. If you look, you will see the Snug, now kids we don’t care about the Snug, but Mom and Dad will. If you think of it as a special adult club, in fact that is it; it is a special adult club. So…it is a GREAT place to let Mom and Dad unwind, and while they are there, you can get a soda and figure out where to next, and you can hear all the wonderful music from the Boulevard Stage…pretty neat!
Let’s keep going, there are Food Vendors and Merchandise Vendors Galore, and while I know you will need to get something from the Irish Fest Merchandise tent, you need to keep your tummy happy and your savings in your pocket ready to spend on that wonderful Irish something you can’t resist!
In fact, something really great to tell your parents is they can do all of the Christmas Shopping at Labor Day. I know this wonderful Grandma and Grandpa named Sullivan who did just that. They were with their Grandkids at the Fest and heard “I WANT” and later on they snuck back and got presents. Christmas was so full of surprises and great memories of Irish Fest.
The food, let’s talk about the food. The kids in the KCIF Kid’s Club do a lot of sampling year to year, and just can’t pick out a favorite. Everyone gets a vote depending on what they crave at that moment. Certainly pizza is a favorite, but you can’t beat Old Bag of Nails and Highland Foods, why it is smorgasbord heaven! Nobody in the family will go hungry and all of them will have their own special place. I will tell you a great drink and the Kid’s Club favorite is a Cherry Limeade from Scmieca’s; you haven’t lived until you have had one of those. But our staple for thirst is a good old bottle of water!
The shops and food go all around the fountain level of Crown Center. Let’s move on because I am both hungry and want to go roam in some of the stores…ahh, I know what I want for Christmas!
While you are traveling make notes of Port-a-Potties…you will need one after filling up and it is good to keep track of where they are.
