Amazing Family Fun – Funnel Cakes, Friendship and the Spring Jamboree – Charlie and Sally #3
Charlie: Hey there! It’s Charlie—your culinary co-pilot for affordable fun and emotional restraint.
And beside me, as always, is Sally. She’s the queen of craft booths, live music, and misunderstandings involving spicy chicken dinners.
Sally: Okay. Once again, for the record: I made Max a perfectly innocent dinner. It wasn’t a date, it wasn’t candlelit, and it definitely wasn’t spicy.
But I get it.
Feelings were felt. So to clear the air and keep things light, Charlie and I are heading out next weekend for some good old-fashioned family fun. And no kitchen drama.
Charlie: That’s right—we’re talking about the Spring Jamboree, happening May 3rd and 4th in beautiful Boulder City.
If you’re looking for family fun that doesn’t drain your wallet, this is your golden ticket.
Sally: Admission? Free. Parking? Free. Entertainment? Free.
The chance to eat a deep-fried Twinkie while watching a dachshund in a superhero costume strut across a pet parade stage?
Priceless family fun!
Charlie: You’ll find local artisan booths, handmade goods, quirky collectibles, and more face-painted kids per square foot than a birthday party in a bounce house.
There’s also a classic car show, live music, and a rock, gem, and mineral expo—because nothing says romance like buying your co-host a slightly cracked geode.
Sally: That sounds suspiciously like a plan, Charlie.
And let’s not forget the food vendors—tacos, kettle corn, lemonade stands, and possibly the best corndogs west of the Mississippi.
For anyone looking to indulge in family fun with a side of mustard, this is the spot.
Charlie: It’s also a great reminder that not every good time has to come with a $200 price tag and a valet.
Family fun near Las Vegas can be laid-back, homespun, and wonderfully weird. And Boulder City nails it.
Sally: We’ll be covering it all for Informer.Digital, of course—documenting the flavors, the fashion choices, the unexpected emotional landmines, and everything else that comes with two coworkers spending a weekend together pretending they’re totally, 100% just friends.
Charlie: To avoid any more Max-related confusion, I made it clear up front: “No spicy chicken dinners. No signals to misread. Just you, me, and a park full of kettle corn.”
And that’s the plan.
Family fun with a healthy side of boundaries.
Sally: Sure, Charlie.
Boundaries.
Until you try to win me a souvenir crystal shaped like a squirrel.
Charlie: Let me dream, Sally.
Sally: If you’re in the area, put the Spring Jamboree on your calendar.
It’s the definition of family fun and it’s the perfect way to shake off the stress without shaking out your pockets.
Charlie: Look for us in Bicentennial Park—we’ll be the ones bickering near the churro cart and pretending we’re not low-key having the best time ever.
And if you’ve got kids, or a soft spot for miniature horses in costumes, or just want a Saturday that feels like a slice of Americana? This event’s calling your name.
Sally: Catch us next weekend at the Spring Jamboree—celebrating budget-friendly, wholesome, weird, wonderful family fun.
And remember: just because it’s free, doesn’t mean it’s not magic.
Charlie: Especially if you’re there with someone who makes kettle corn taste like a second chance.
Sally: Charlie.
Charlie: Sorry. Boundaries. Got it.
Sally: Yes there are boundaries. Which begs the question why did you say there’s some Shakespeare happening this Friday at Bicentennial Park?
Charlie: That’s right—The Comedy of Errors, outdoor performance, under the stars. Free. A perfect warm-up for the Jamboree. You know, just to get a feel for the park. For work purposes.
Sally: Uh-huh. And is this suggestion your way of being spontaneous with me?
Because we just agreed—strictly friends, strictly funnel cakes.
Charlie: It’s Shakespeare, Sally. Mistaken identities. Twins. Hijinks. If that’s not a metaphor for our working relationship, I don’t know what is.
Sally: Fine. But if you try to hold my hand during the second act, I’m calling Max.
Charlie: I’d never. Unless there’s swordplay. Then all bets are off.
