Members of the BryonySeries B.L.O.C.K.S. team will be providing a changing array of kids games every Friday in June at the Carter Realty Group's Food Truck Fridays.
Food Truck Fridays will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. June 12, June 19, and June 26 in the Carter Realty Group parking lot, located at 1214 Essington Road in Joliet.
The first event took place June 5, where we engaged kids with good old-fashioned backyard games under the tent (Carter Realty Group provided some of the games) and across the grassy field.
We also provided a coloring station (with stickers) for winding down.
June 12 is a "special" night. We will set up "tentless" closer to 4 p.m. and then leave 6-ish since I have a previous "Grandma" committment for that night.
But we have two special kids activities planned and will leave a few more activities behind to keep the kids occupied and having fun.
But June 19 and June 26, we work until 5 p.m. So we will set up games sometime between 5:30 and 6 p.m. and stay until close.
Kids can also get their picture taken on their parents' or guardians' cell phones with Bertrand the Mouse.
Finally, we'll also be selling all titles of the BryonySeries that night, either for people to take home and read or for B.L.O.C.K.S.' two large events this year: hosting children's games at the July 3 Independence Day celebration at Bicentennial Park in Joliet or the WriteOn Joliet tent in downtown Joliet for Kidz Fest on Aug. 1.
Food Truck Fridays features a food trucks, music, and other local venders.
If you're hungry, like music and shopping, and/or have kids who need some entertaining, stop out.
And before you praise us for any of our efforts, please know we left richer than when we arrived since one young artist named Chase provided us with original art he created under our tent.
