Candy Land in San Francisco
Lombard Street is being transformed into Candy Land! (SF Examiner article)
After 60 years of sparking the candy filled dreams of kids of all ages, Candy Land is coming to life for a day. Lombard Street known for being crooked and picturesque will be transformed on Wednesday, August 19th into a life-sized game of Candy Land. In celebration of Candy Land being "a sweet little game... for sweet little folks,” there will be four groups of six children aged 6-10 [that will] play the game. The children will pull from an oversized deck of color-coated cards and will advance through the squares of purple, red, blue, orange, green and yellow covering this twisting stretch of Lombard. At the finish line there will be a cake shaped like King Kandy’s castle, eco-friendly confetti and balloons.
My first thought: Wait, just 24 kids get to play the game? That's it?!
My second thought: WAIT. Just kids?!?!
My third thought: Well yay that I'm a big kid! I can skip classes, right? I mean, the third day of school is never really all that important, yes?
