B.L.O.C.K.S. Kids Games at Food Truck Fridays in June

Join members of the B.L.O.C.K.S. team every Friday in June at the Carter Realty Group's Food Truck Fridays, where we were asked to provide children's games for two hours of the four-hour event.

Food Truck Fridays will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. June 5, June 12, June 19, and June 26 in the Carter Realty Group parking lot, located at 1214 Essington Road in Joliet.

We work until 5 p.m. so we will set up games sometime between 5:30 and 6 p.m. and stay until close.

The only exception is June 12, where we will set up closer to 4 p.m. and then leave 6-ish since I have a previous "Grandma" committment for that night.

We will engage kids with good old-fashioned backyard games, a coloring station for winding down, and maybe a few surprises we haven't devised yet.

Kids can also get their picture taken on their parents' or guardians' cell phones with Bertrand the Mouse (who will not be hanging around any food, despite the photo below).

We will 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 will also feature 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.
