Did someone say French Fries?
Friday, July 12 marks National French Fry Day, and there are plenty of crispy, salty ways to celebrate.
In Oak Park, McCain Foods Friday will unveil the “World’s First French Fry house,” a two-story house in Chicago with fry-themed decorations ranging from “giant French fry inflatables and extravagant holiday lights to trees and shrubbery covered in themed ornaments,” according to a press release.
The house, at 224 N. Elmwood Ave., will be open to visitors from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with free fry giveaways, hourly sing-alongs with “French fry carolers” and more.
If you need your fry fix before than, here’s roundup of a few French Fry deals you can snag on this very savory holiday:
