You need plans. Fat City has a recycle bin full of listings. In this post, all our problems are solved.
With great drinking opportunities come great responsibility and this weekend there's a two-fer in the Northland.
Parkville hosts its seventh annual Microbrewfest on Saturday from 1 to 5 in English Landing Park. More than 30 breweries and brewpubs are attending, including: Lucky Bucket Brewing Company, Blind Tiger Brewery and the Tallgrass Brewing Company. Tickets are $20 at the gate.
And the Traveling Cocktail Club continues to turn up around town. Manifesto's Ryan Maybee and Beau Williams will be at Justus Drugstore on Saturday from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. making cocktails on the Smithville restaurant's patio.
Actually, English Landing Park will be extra busy on Saturday: the Parkville
Farmers Market opens at 7 a.m. and stays open until it sells out of free-range chicken, eggs, lamb, elk meat, jams,
jellies and plants. The Lee's Summit Farmers Market also opens for the first time on Saturday at 7 a.m. Vendors will be selling produce, baked goods and craft items.
Homegrown, a documentary about an urban farm worked by a family that lives off the grid
(it's Little House on the Prairie set in Pasadena, California) screens at the Glenwood Arts Theater
on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. as part of Whole Foods' "Let's
Retake Our Plate" Film Series. Tickets ($4.50) benefit Green Works
in Kansas City.
The 9th Annual Village Crawfish Festival (7123 Mission Road) kicks off Saturday at 6 p.m., with 700 pounds of crawfish flown in from Louisiana and cooked Cajun style. Those who prefer to stick to land-based dinners can enjoy the barbecue on hand. Tickets are $35.
Meanwhile, the Saturday happy hour is a mythical beast -- once you find one, you don't always want to share it. Harry's Country Club
in the River Market has a proper Saturday happy hour from 11 a.m. to 7
p.m. (Its weekday happy hour is 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.) On
the lengthy menu are house-made chips and French onion dip ($2.99),
homemade beef jerky ($4.99) and a pork tenderloin ($6.99). With 10
martinis plus specials on the Missouri and Moscow Mule as well as Fat
Tire and Hornsby's Cider, you'll be able to find a drink very easily.
