Events

September in Kansas City starts out with the KC Irish Fest September 4,5,6. The Liberty Corn Maze is also already open. It runs all month (except for Labor Day).

The following weekend is Westport Art Fair sept 11, 12, and 13

The Plaza Art Fair that runs September 25 through September 27 is probably the biggest attraction that Kansas City sees in September.

Also in the last weekend of the year is Strut with your Mutt, a Wayside Waifs fundraiser ball on September 26.

Running pretty much all month is the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, which starts September 5 and runs through October 15. It's always a good time to head out there and eat unhealthy food and check out the old-timey activities like beating each other up with those oversized Q-tips and trying to climb that rope ladder.

Food and Drink

I noticed that the sign outside of the new O'Neil's spot at 95th and Mission has been hung. I'm not sure when O'Neils is moving, but I'm excited to check out their new space and see if they continue to thrive.

Home and Gardening

  • A great time for laying down grass seed is around Labor Day weekend. The weather has cooled off enough that the grass can do alright without a lot of competition from weeds. Also, it will be a lot easier for you to keep the seed moist until it sprouts.
  • Believe it or not, winter will be here soon. This month is a good time to check the caulking or glazing around your external windows. Also, check the storm windows for proper functionality. Those cool autumn evenings will quickly turn into cold winter nights, and keeping out the drafts is going to make you feel a lot more comfortable.
  • This may be the month that you switch over from air conditioning to heating. When you do that, don't forget to replace your furnace air filter. A clean filter collects more debris from the air and helps your furnace run more efficiently. Also, the sooner in the season that you test your furnace, the easier it will be to get it repaired before it gets really cold in case it doesn't start up for you.
