CHILD "So," you ask, "what's a Fairy House, anyway?" Well, to answer this pressing question, as well as what to feed the kids on a Thursday night, the folks at Wild Child, 612 Davis Street in Evanston are absolutely thrilled to provide answers. As always, children
under 12 will dine for free following “Stories, Kazoos and Dim
Sum, Too!” at Lulu's: Dim Sum and Then Some when they present
their event stamp and are accompanied by a paying adult. Participants
who save their dinner receipts from their "Wild" evening can
get 2-for-1 colorful creature chopsticks on their next visit to the
Evanston Wild Child store. Wild Child |
