KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Fans should plan to come early when The Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest makes a stop at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on Wednesday, July 4th when the Kansas City T-Bones take on the Winnipeg Goldeyes.  Created and produced by Entertainment & Sports International (ESI), the 4000 square foot Principal Financial Group Family Fun Fest will be set-up just outside the main gates and will begin at 4:05 PM.  CommunityAmerica Ballpark is located at 1800 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, KS 66111.
