This was definitely my favorite appearance up to this point!
Greater Kansas City Day was Monday, April 5th. I joined the other Kansas City Celebrities and hit the streets, again! We started the day at 5AM at the Hyatt downtown. We loaded the trollies and took off to raise money for underprivileged kids to go to camp. Many children have enjoyed attending the Kansas City Rotary camp; however, there are also many children whose families are unable to afford sending their child to camp. This was the 23rd year for Greater Kansas City day and it was a huge success!
I was joined by my sister queen, Lauren Alumbaugh, Miss Greater Kansas City to sell newspapers. All of the money raised by selling the newspapers went toward sending the kids to camp.
Greater Kansas City Day is always on the same day as the Royal's home opener. After selling a few newpapers we traveled over to do a few interviews live on air at many radio stations in the area.
Of course, on the way over, some of the Chiefs and Royals got silly on the bus. This is Thomas Gafford, Chiefs long snapper, crowning himself Mr. Kansas City!
I cannot forget my bus partner, Walter White! Walter is a sweetheart!! He was the tight end for the Chiefs and currently serves as a KC Ambassador.
The radio station visits were a lot of fun as well. I have never seen so many people crammed into one little room. After a few visits, we decided to break the group up so we didn't overwhelm the listeners. While one group of the "KC celebrities" were on air, the other group had mini-photo shoots!
One of my favorite Kansas City Celebrities is Bobby Bell, NFL Hall of Famer. If you have ever met him you would know that he definitely brought a positive outlook, even when the rain ran us off of the streets. Bobby also wanted to be Mr. Kansas City....
Once the event came to an end a few of the guys invited Lauren and I to breakfast. I guess we made good impressions on them because they were all very interested in the Miss America Organization! We dined at the Hyatt with Bobby Bell, Walter White, Al Fitsmorris, WWF's the Brut, and many others.
When we left breakfast, we were invited to the Royals game with all of our new friends. Unfortunately, the Royals didn't pull out a win, but the game was still a lot of fun!
