candy land celebrates 60th anniversary on Lombard St, SF!


--------------------------------------------------------


"According to the Examiner, "Kids will draw from a deck of color-coated cards as big as six square feet while eco-friendly confetti and balloons drape the background." Also, "purple, yellow, blue, orange, green and red blocks" will be placed along Lombard's 575-foot-long path. "Each block will be about 14 feet long and 12 feet wide, matching the same color sequence as the usual game," Ex goes on to report.

"Ted Weinstein, who was live on the scene, reports that today's event was commercial yet charming, and the kids really loved it. "Capitalism meets childhood," he told us.

A good time was had by all, and the most astounding cake was served after the game. Today's Candyland bash also makes us wonder, can a life-sized Chutes & Ladders on Vermont Street be far behind?"
