\u27a2 <\/span>A mother in Oklahoma was hosting a birthday party for her six-year-old girl . . . and she was bummed because her plans for a cake fell through.\u00a0 So she came up with a bizarre back-up plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

She hired “Mrs. Bigfoot” . . . a.k.a. “Cinnamon” . . . who would be in costume, and would surprise the kids by peeking in the windows at the party.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Bigfoot showed up, and the kids were immediately horrified, and began screaming, running, and crying.\u00a0 Mrs. Bigfoot went in the house . . . and the kids eventually warmed up to her a little, but the mother says the kids still say they never want to see her again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Bigfoot arrived with balloons, wearing a tutu and a bow in her hair . . . so the mom says she thought it would be “cute and fun.”\u00a0 But the kids “did not have that reaction.”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span>They built it, and now people will come. TOMORROW, the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox will meet at a special temporary field set up amid 159 acres of cornfields near the property used in the 1989 film \u201cField of Dreams\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The game was postponed in 2020 debut by the pandemic, and marks the first-ever major league baseball game in Iowa. An 8,000-seat ballpark will host the game, which will feature a corn maze outside the park in the shape the MLB logo. And it will be possible to hit a home run into the cornfield beyond the right field wall\u2026just like in the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> If you have a pet you may have noticed it\u2019s been difficult to find their favorite foods in stores. The issue is that many people got pets during the pandemic, and retailers such as Amazon, Target, and PetSmart are desperately trying to keep up with increased demand and strains on the supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also been affected by higher prices of basic foodstuffs such as corn, soy, and meat, on top of rising transportation and labor costs that are affecting all food supplies\u2014for pets and humans alike. Pet food makers are also facing increased competition for animal- and plant-based oils because more of those are going into renewable fuel supplies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>The iconic animated children\u2019s show \u201cArthur\u201d will come to an end with its upcoming 25th season, set to debut in 2022. The series holds the record for longest-running children\u2019s animated show on U.S. television, and is the second-longest-running animated show of any kind in America behind only \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d. Over the years, many celebrities have made guest appearances on \u201cArthur\u201d, including Yo-Yo Ma, Art Garfunkel, Matt Damon, Alex Trebek, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
