Grinter Friends will be holding a Jamboree on Wednesday, Nov. 10, at the Grinter Barn, 1400 S. 78th St,, Kansas City, Kansas.

The MP3 Band will be playing favorite songs from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Those attending may make requests for songs. There will be dancing.

Admission is $7 and a snack bar opens at 5:30 p.m.

The event is open to the public.

An arts and crafts workshop is planned from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday, March 26, at the Grinter Barn, 1400 S. 78th St., Kansas City, Kansas.

The event, which raises funds for the Grinter Place Friends, has a $25 fee. The workshop will be limited to 16 persons who preregister. Face masks and social distancing will be required.

Participants will paint wooden blocks with team names on them that are arranged in a design that can be displayed on a shelf. On one side of the blocks will be the word “Royals” and on the other side, “Chiefs.”

According to Pat Spencer of the Grinter Place Friends, all the supplies will be furnished. The finished item is about 17 inches long, 6.5 inches tall and about 1.5 inches deep, she said. Angie Kaminski will lead this project.

Previously, the Grinter Place Friends held fundraiser events where porch boards were painted, some that said “Welcome,” Spencer said.

Wine from Rowe Ridge Winery will be available for purchase during the March 26 event. Also, Poppin KC will have snacks available, including non-kernel popcorn and chocolate-covered strawberries.

Spencer said the Grinter Place Friends are trying to keep going through fundraisers and through rentals of the Grinter Barn. They have held some wedding receptions and other events, including drive-through receptions in their parking lot, she said.
