While
spectators are enjoying the fabulous taste of freshly grilled
barbecue, the contests entrants in the open division from commercial
businesses, families, and other organized groups will be cooking up a
variety of meats and competing for cash prizes in the first inaugural
cooking event in the entire country.
In
addition to the magic of barbecue, the Snake Saturday Parade will start
promptly at 11:00 A.M., regardless of the weather conditions. The
parade route will start at 14th & Swift, where it will travel
north
on Swift to Armour Road, then turn east down Armour Road to Howell
Street, turn south and end after crossing 14th Street. The reviewing
stand will be on Armour Road in front of the North Kansas City/City
Hall.
After the barbecuing and the parade, families are entertained at the
festival grounds which are open from 12:00 noon until 4:00 p.m. The
festival grounds are bordered by Armour Road on the north and 18th
Avenue on the south, Fayette on the west and Howell on the east. One of
the great features of the festival is that nearly every activity for
kids and adults is free, thanks to many wonderful sponsors. Thrill
seekers can purchase tickets for exciting carnival rides. Arts
&
crafts enthusiasts can buy original art. The hungry and thirsty can
satisfy their appetites by buying food and beverages either at the
festival or the many restaurants and bars nearby. Race fans can view
over 50 racecars on display, including the Kansas Speedway Pace Car,
Lakeside Speedway Pace Car and the famous Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Car. The
children's square features free pony rides, petting zoo, and kids' live
stage entertainment. Parking is free! This is a wonderful way to break
the doldrums of winter's cabin fever. So please join us and have an
Irish good time!
