Sprint Family Fun Day

If you thought Downtown Kansas City’s Power & Light district was just for late-night douche-clubbers, mechanical bull-riding aficionados and inexperienced twenty-one-year-olds who haven’t yet learned that drinking can be a harsh, barfy mistress, then fasten your seatbelt, strap on your helmet and make sure your oxygen mask is fitted securely over your mouth and nose, because today’s Sprint Family Fun Day means that it isn’t your embarrassing former frat brother’s Power & Light District anymore! My, what a long, strange trip it’s been since that sentence started. The point is that from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., under the district’s clock tower on 14th and Walnut, jugglers, face painters and balloon artists will be on-hand to entertain your kids, encourage their creativity and expand their little social networks. It’s free!
