The beginning of summer is upon us. Not the official summer by the equinox, but the social season, by the placement of the first of the two main holidays. Summer always begins socially in the USA with Memorial Day, and ends with Labor Day. This coming Monday being Memorial Day Observed (Official Memorial Day is … Continue reading A Look Ahead …

A Look Ahead … race weekend
Usually, when we hear race weekend around here, it means NASCAR. And who knows-- certainly not I -- there could be something going on at the speedway. But that isn't the race I am thinking of. This Saturday is the Kansas City Corporate Challenge Half Marathon. The half marathon will take place at Southcreek Business Park. … Continue reading A Look Ahead … race weekend
Of Turkey Legs and Time
I seem to be blogging a lot about Worlds of Fun this spring. It gives me something continuous to talk about. Today's post is about today. And a bit about last night. When I went for my second visit to the park last night, I overheard one employee and his supervisor talking, and mentioned expecting … Continue reading Of Turkey Legs and Time
A Blast of the Past #96: Worlds of Fun, April 2008
With all the new changes at Worlds of Fun this year, especially their new entrance plaza, today's look at the past comes from a chilly day in April 2008 at WOF. How many different things can we see in these pictures that are no longer there, or have been transformed in some way?
A Look Ahead …
Starting yesterday, Worlds of Fun is open daily through the middle of August (excluding Sunday, May 21 -- when someone must have bought out the whole park for a private event). So you can attend the park today and the rest of the week. But a warning: my daughter and I went over around 11:30 … Continue reading A Look Ahead …
Worlds of Fun Celebrity
My original plan was to put together a video from the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun for today's post. I have one, and will be making comments here about the festival. But before I do that, I want to discuss my "celebrity" status I experienced on Saturday. Saturday was a perfect weather … Continue reading Worlds of Fun Celebrity
A Look Ahead …
This past weekend, along with the next two weekends, is the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun. So I've chosen a look back, at last year's festival, as a way to look forward to this year's. This coming Saturday, like when I posted about last year's festival, is also the Kansas City Corporate … Continue reading A Look Ahead …
A Look Ahead …
Today's look ahead is going to strat with a look behind. Last weekend, opening weekend for Worlds of Fun, included times with the Easter Bunny. The above photo was taken on Saturday in the new entry plaza. My family was too busy with church and larger family activities on Easter to actually make it to … Continue reading A Look Ahead …
Worlds of Fun: First Weekend Impressions
It is an interesting fact: Worlds of Fun is an amusement park, with rides. I and my family have been there every day so far they have been open, and none of us have ridden a ride yet. Even so, we are getting a lot of "amusement" out of the park. The no rides thing … Continue reading Worlds of Fun: First Weekend Impressions
Sneak Peak and WOF opening day
Today's post is coming late for a couple of reasons. Primarily because I was busy and didn't get to write one earlier, but also because I decided to do it on something that happened this evening. Last week I wrote a roundup of upcoming events that included The Gold and Platinum Pass sneak peak at … Continue reading Sneak Peak and WOF opening day
