FREE Summer Movies in Kansas City – 2011

Posted June 08, 2011 11:10pm by Kate

The FREE summer movie season is upon us!

As usual, many of these showings often involve kid-related activities prior to the show itself. For you newbies, many of these flicks are shown in parks or parking lots and begin at dusk, so be sure to spray everyone down with bug spray! Also, you’ll want to bring a lawn chair(s) and/or blankets. Lastly, you will want to bring along snacks and drinks. Many locations will sell concessions, or have nearby shops willing to sell you something, but not all have food options.

Our list of  Kansas City’s free summer movies is below.

And be sure to check out the KC Kids Fun Events Calendar in the toolbar at the top of the page for more great kid- and family-friendly events around Kansas City this summer!

Father/Daughter (and Mother/Son) Dances – 2011

Posted January 08, 2011 10:20pm by Kate

We’ve already been receiving emails asking where the 2011 Kansas City-area Father-Daughter Dance list is going up on the site! (We’ve included a few mother/son events as well.) Many of these will sell-out – so call the Parks & Rec and get registered soon!

As in years past, most of the events seem to be scheduled in the few weekends just before and just after Valentine’s Day. All of them include dancing, many include dinner. It’s a great excuse to gather some friends, dress up and pay extra attention to the littlest lady in your life! (And all of these events welcome “other-than-dad” dates like grandpas, uncles and family friends!)

Here’s our list of Kansas City-area father/daughter dances for 2011:

Friday, February 4, 2011

Saturday, February 5, 2011

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Friday, February 11, 2011

Saturday, February 12, 2011

Friday, February 18, 2011

Saturday, February 19, 2011

  • Daddy/Daughter Dance sponsored by Gladstone Parks & Rec – girls from 3 to 15, registration req’d

Saturday, March 26, 2011

Did we miss your favorite “night out”? Let us know in the comments and we’ll be sure to add it to the list!

Kansas City Spring Consignment Sales– 2010!

Posted March 02, 2010 7:22am by Kiran

Believe it or not, it’s almost time for Kansas City’s 2010 Spring Consignment Sales! There are lots of them popping up all over the city.  Your kids are growing like weeds and the economy isn’t…a consignment sale might be just what you’ve been looking for.  Not only can you get some really cute clothes for next-to-nothing, you can even make some money, too.

Here’s how they work:  you can generally participate by becoming either a consignor, volunteer or shopper.  (Therefore, you can both make and spend money!)  You’ll need to price and tag your items and be prepared to pay an entry fee in the neighborhood of $10.  Then, get ready to take home up to 70% of your sales!  Some sales are limited in scope to only clothing, while others accept and sell anything from clothing to furniture to sporting goods.  We’ve compiled a listing of upcoming sales and maintain a listing of Consignment Sales year-round–you can click here to see it.

If you run or represent a consignment sale–and would like to purchase featured, prominent placement via a Sponsored Listing – (like “Here We Grow Again”) – all you need to do is contact me.  Just write to me at kiran@kckidsfun.com or leave a comment below.  Happy Selling!  Happy Shopping!
