First we get the Major League Baseball All-star Game, July 10.
As if that weren't enough, as of last evening, local weather forecasters are also calling for a cool down to an 89 degree high for next Tuesday's game.
Yeehaw.
Then, next up Kansas City gets big national (international?) TV coverage on PBS, July 28, for our new performing arts center and local singer/performer Joyce DiDonato who has done so well for herself--and our city.
I'm telling you, between these two events, Kansas City, Missouri (sorry, Kansas) will be getting some fantastic national coverage and exposure. First for--literally--major league sports, then for major league art.
What's funny about all this attention, too, is that neither event--the Allstar Game or the PBS show on our Performing Arts Center--would have happened without Ewing, Muriel and Julie Kauffman. Many thanks, again, to all three. We are so fortunate in so many ways to have you in town and to be gifted by your presence and hard work and now, your many gifts to Kansas City.
Good on you, Kansas City. It's our time to shine.
Enjoy the spotlights and attention.
