Did you know that Papa Robb & Santa Claus are old friends? Well, it happens to be true. They met years ago when both were on vacation in the Caribbean. Well, that is where Santa is right now - on vacation in the Islands resting before his busy time getting ready for Christmas. But don't worry. Santa's Elves are still at the North Pole working very hard on all the toys and gifts!

The really GREAT news is that Santa, on his way back to the North Pole, is coming to visit his old friend Papa Robb and they are both really excited. Yes, SANTA CLAUS IS COMING!  On Thursday, August 14, Santa is dropping by to say hello and see all you boys and girls. So make your plans, mark your calendar and come see  Santa on August 14. We will bring you more details soon, but we do know that fun will be had by all.

Obviously you have noticed the weather. Remember we said that summer weather mostly is about short rain showers? That's what 's been happening, so please remember to call us when in doubt about the old rain.

Food Truck news. No more trucks on Monday. Not enough customers. If you want Food Trucks in Concord, please try to support them as much as you can. We try to offer a variety and we will be part of a Food Truck Rally on August 1 . We will have more on this.

We will be blogging every week with lots of news, but please note the following:

Friday, July 25 will be Festival Friday's PIRATE DAY. Come dressed as a pirate and get a 15% discount. Barnacle Bill (and maybe some friends) will be there for lots of Pirate Fun. Much more on this next week.

Always check our Facebook every day plus our web site events calendar for updates. See ya next week.

It is mid-June and we have the usual rain showers for this time of the year, so don't worry too much. Chances are they won't last long and we are open regardless, so once the rain stops, come on by for some treats and visit the food truck of the day. You may want to call ahead. It may be raining where you are, but not at Papa Robbs.

Speaking of food trucks, note that we have lost another: TJ's BURGER BOOGIE. They were renting a trailer and it was sold. But they still do some catering and could very well be back with us later.  MARCO's PIZZA has joined every other Wednesday, alternating with MASTER BACON's BACON CONNECTION.  Some other changes will be happening in our food truck schedule, so watch our facebook and our calendar of events on our web site.

Speaking of changes, Motorcycle Mondays is no more. Bikers are still very welcome, we just were not able to put together a formal program for them at this time. Perhaps later or even a special event - probably a fund raiser.

We are concentrating more on Festival Fridays, Open Mic Saturdays and Latino Days/festivals on Sundays. Much is either already planned or in the planning stages and specific dates. events, etc will be posted on our calendar next week, plus in our next newsletter, due out very soon. Dancers, artists, music,  magic,  clowns, balloons, police & fire departments and much more -- all coming soon.

A special blog will be sent next week about these and other news, but here is a BIG HINT about a very special visit from an old friend of Papa Robbs. Many years ago Papa Robb met Santa Claus while on an island vacation. They became close friends. This summer, on his way back to the North Pole (Santa has been in the islands on a short vacation), Santa is coming to visit Papa Robb!!!! Probably in August. Much more on this next week.

On a personal note, Papa Robb has been resting after some surgery on his knee. No big deal he says, just getting older! He'll be back at Paradise Ice next week.

See you next time.

It is the end of May and time for some catch up blogging. Let's start with the weather: don't let it get you down or prevent you from visiting us at Papa Robbs. This time of year we mostly get a series of rain showers that do not last long or simply come and go. We stay open (more on this) our great staff are full of sunny smiles!

We did have a serious problem two weeks ago with a heavy wind shear that destroyed our tent shelter and 90% of umbrellas, caused some flooding and forced us to close. But we re-opened the next day on time.

Some ideas work and others do not no matter how hard you wish and work. Tuesday Blue Grass Music jam sessions are one of those. Simply, no one came to play - no one. So, they have been cancelled & we will work on other ideas - many from you.

The most important aspect of events at Papa Robbs is inclusion; involvement of our customers. Open Mic, Festival Fridays, Latino Festival are examples, so look for more in the future. We'll keep you posted.

We have added some new food trucks: Vito's Pizza, KO, TJ's Burger Boogie, but sadly we have lost our friends, the Pig & Cow for awhile. Some changes to their business structure, upgrades, etc have sidelined them as these changes are made.

Some quick notes to close:  The Two Chicks & a Truck food truck now offer a Kids Eat Free program on Mondays. A special kid's menu & a free kids meal with purchase of an adult meal.  Yes we still do parties, but the calendar fills fast so PLEASE try to plan ahead and reserve space early.  Again, gift certificates are available, plus we now have our new tee shirts in stock for sale!!!

Hello again. We have some news so let's get to it. You may have hear that last Saturday, May 10 we had a serious problem. Sort of a MINI  TWISTER .  It may not have been a touchdown tornado, but winds were over 50 mph & we lost 90% of our umbrellas, our new pop up tent shelter, some flooding & other  minor damage. We were forced to close for the night & were actually buying  new umbrellas that night. Happy to report that no one was injured & we were back open Sunday. Actually we were very lucky.

Our Food Truck schedule is set -- a  Food Truck EVERY night. Schedule on our website - just click on events - but remember that things can change so check our Facebook often

Special nights we are working on: Motorcycle Mondays off to a slow start, but we expect it to grow. Bike displays, DJ & Live Music are all planned once we see a reasonable turn out, plus a Food Truck every Monday. 

We are attempting a blue grass music jam session on Tuesdays. These are tough to do, so we will see what happens. Note please there is NO DANCE. Just a place for some picking & grinning.

Festival Fridays are starting to pick up again. Youth clowns coming, plus the Firetruck & some exciting themes. Drum Circle, Motorsports, Poetry Night, some dance exhibitions, a Beach Part & other unique street performers. Join us every Friday - you never know what might happen. Again, our Facebook postings will help keep you up to date.

What Latin Festival? you have asked. Well, we have a great hispanic food truck every Sunday - Tacos Morelia - & they (and us) are determined to provide more than just very good food. Music, face painting & more to begin on May 25, but you may be surprised  on any Sunday.

A quick reminder that we do offer Gift Certificates -- tee shirts should arrive soon & of course we are ALWAYS looking for more street performers1

See you soon.

Welcome to our first updated news blog. We will attempt to post about every two weeks, but we also want to remind you to check our Facebook & our website for our calendar of updated event information.

Today we will be telling you about some of our plans for the year, asking for your ideas & input and making a request or two.

Let's start with the request: Our FESTIVAL FRIDAYS have begun and we are always looking for more performers. "Buskers" is the official word and that basically means a street or fair performer. Music, magic, juggling, clowns, balloon twisting and/or other forms of visual art. All are welcome. We want our Festival Friday to become much  bigger than it is, so we need your help & input.

This year we have more Food Trucks than ever with more variety of choices. Other plans include a Latin Festival on Sundays, a  Family Motorcycle Night, A Bluegrass/American Music Jamboree and even a Poetry Night. Some of these will begin next month (May) so again, check our web site & Facebook postings.

Don't forget our OPEN MIC NIGHTS every Saturday night for some good music & fun. Feel free to join us for a song or two (or more).

That's all for now -- see you soon and also watch for THE SCOOP, our newsletter coming soon via email.
