Hot Fun In The Summertime

NorthPark breaks out the face paint

Alert the bourgeoisie. There's to be an uprising at NorthPark Center this summer. Finally those of the cut-off jean shorts and NASCAR tank tops have a reason to infiltrate the inner sanctum of the $200 Diesel jeans-wearing, exclusivity-lovin' Dallas elite. And it has nothing to do with a Bass Pro Shops installation. Instead, it has everything to do with some good old-fashioned free stuff. That's because Sunday Fun Days are coming to NorthPark Center this summer. Free swag seekers can look forward to face painting, clowns, jugglers and balloon artists. Can't you just picture the University Park femme fatale with deep green money signs painted on her rouge-doused cheeks? That's worth making the drive to 8687 N. Central Expressway each and every Sunday until July 27. Sunday Fun Days will be held on the first floor between Nordstrom and Macy's from 2 to 6 p.m.
Sundays, 2-6 p.m. Starts: July 6. Continues through July 27, 2008
