Check out the Coolest Snack Shack Ever!
When you think of Little League, most think of very long games with lots of walks, sitting in the stands in the freezing cold or stifling heat, depending on the month. You probably don’t think about enjoying a fresh shrimp cocktail! Yes, that’s right, shrimp cocktail! A new snack shack at Festa Field launched a soft opening this week, complete with shrimp cocktail served in a mini cap. In addition to the shrimp, they also offer empanadas, oysters, hot dogs, chips, candy, cookies, and, of course, sunflower seeds, all perfectly curated by EBO + Co. Grocery! Open M-F from 5:30pm until the end of the game… which anyone who has a kid who plays baseball knows could mean 45 minutes or 2.5 hours.
