A new event is coming to Tom Lee Park in October. The organizers of Delta Fair want to bring something similar to our side of town, so the first-ever Riverfront Fair & Festival<\/a> will happen October 7-9. It will be family-friendly with a Ferris wheel and other carnival rides, as well as carnival games and food.<\/p>\n

Food Truck Fridays are returning to the FedExForum in June. Here’s a list<\/a> of dates and what trucks will be there.<\/p>\n

In a previous post I wrote about all the things happening at the Friday, June 3 Redbirds game, most of which are related to the upcoming St. Jude Classic golf tournament. I have since learned that there is one more giveaway at that event which is not tournament related – first 1500 fans in the gate get a replica 1946 St. Louis Cardinals World Series ring.<\/p>\n

Do you want to help develop and promote Downtown Memphis? The DMC has two positions open<\/a> – a Planning and Development Analyst, and a Development Coordinator.<\/p>\n

Volunteer opportunity: Pack produce bags<\/a> for Bring It Food Hub, a nonprofit that serves lower-income Memphians and those who want to lead a healthy lifestyle. You can sign up for as many hours as you like anytime between now and November 17, Tuesday-Friday, 9 AM-2 PM. Of course, given my love for fresh produce, it is killing me that I can’t sign up for a bunch of shifts, but thanks to BBQ Fest I am short on vacation time at work. Bring It is at 694 Madison in The Edge.<\/p>\n

Felicia Suzanne’s will be closed for lunch and dinner today (Friday, May 27) for a private event.<\/p>\n

A burglar wearing a tube top<\/a> has been stealing purses, jewelry, and perfume in Cape Coral, Florida. Hey, now! She can come burglarize my apartment anytime! Preferably when I’m home!<\/p>\n

Starting Saturday, June 11, the World Food Championships will be shown on Destination America. Watch and you may catch a glimpse of local Memphis team The Fabulous Burger Boys who qualified for the event at Best Memphis Burger Fest last October.<\/p>\n

Another team on TV: Life in Memphis Episode 1<\/a> featuring BBQ Fest is on YouTube, featuring our friends from Squeal Street BBQ.<\/p>\n
