The KC Guy's Kansas City news and events
From TheKCGuy
Saturday, July 4Be sure to check out one of the many Fireworks Shows around Kansas City this weekend. Friday, July 3It's Independence Day Weekend in Kansas City. It's well past time to head out and buy some fireworks. You can head pretty much any direction out of KCMO and hit a fireworks stand. If you head North or South, the Red X has you covered. They have a store in Riverside and one just South of the Grandview Triangle on 71. To the West, there are tents and more permanent structures in Wyandotte County. To the East, you have to go pretty far before you hit one of the I-70 roadside, year round establishments. Wherever you go, please remember to leave the parking lot before you start lighting off your bounty. I've seen some close calls in the past! If you're interested in seeing a more professional show, I have a list of some of the Fireworks Shows in the metro area. Thursday, July 2Enjoy the Holiday weekend. I know no one is really working today. Wednesday, July 1It's July in Kansas City. For the most part, that means that we get to listen to the neighborhood kids lighting off fireworks all month. There's no better way to celebrate our Independence from King George's thugs than with a reenactment between the neighborhood rebels and the uniformed officers. If civil disobedience is not your fancy, there are numerous Fireworks Shows around town this weekend. A few have been canceled due to budget shortcomings, but there are many still going strong. I guess the Corporate Woods show and surrounding activities have been getting bigger and better each year, so perhaps this is the year to check that one out. Also this month is the KC Fringe Festival. It's always full of entertaining folks and their activities. Enjoy the coolish spell we're having. I have a feeling it won't last long and we'll be in the 100's before July is over. Tuesday, June 30Missouri's frogging season opens tonight. In Kansas, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to gig your frogs. Monday, June 29Here are a couple of interesting items from recent news about chain retailers. First, it looks like after one head-fake, Dunkin' Donuts is trying again to come to the metro area. You grease fans may soon no longer have to trek to Lawrence or St. Joe. Then, some folks are apparently hatching a scheme to deliver Trader Joe's goods to buyers in the KC area. I can't imagine a quicker way to go broke. I also have to wonder what Trader Joe's may have to say about that. Sunday, June 28The urban farms and garden tour and the Duck derby are both today. |
