Help Grant a Dying Wish: Eat Lobster on a Stick

It’s not often you can help grant a dying child’s wish by doing something as simple as nibbling on some french fries, but today is your chance.

Today’s Food Truck Picnic at the Plaza is a Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraiser, as is the special encore picnic scheduled for tomorrow night. Tonight’s fare will include.

The fair takes place every Thursday evening at US Bank at 10942 Pine St. beginning at 5 p.m. It also features a wine and beer garden at the adjacent St. Isidore Historic Plaza. Funds from the alcohol sales go toward the effort to save the historic St. Isidore Church.

First dreamed up by Los Alamitos Starbucks manager and self- described foodie over good eats, the event has been wildly popular since it first launched in April, said City Councilwoman Marilynn Poe.

In fact, city and community officials are looking to expand the event with vendors and craft booths for kids, Poe said. The picnic was originally intended to be a temporary seasonal event, but Poe said she expects to see it continue for as long as the community wants it.
