More Food Truck Friday Fun: Bring the Kids!

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.

The last two Food Truck Fridays will take place 4 to 8 p.m. 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 was a "special" night. We will set up "tentless" closer to 4 p.m. and then left 6-ish since I had a previous "Grandma" committment for that night.

But we had plenty of giant bubble fun and Timothy engaged the kids with simple ball games in the field.

We also left bottles of bubbles at the Carter Realty Group tables for kids to enjoy and added a special guessing game to keep the kids enaged.

On June 19 and June 26, 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.
