KCPT TV Dinner

I was fortunate enough to attend the KCPT TV Dinner, a creative black-tie event held on the deck of the Liberty Memorial on an absolutely gorgeous night.
As I was getting ready for this event Friday afternoon, my 9 year old daughter said something to me that really got me thinking (although that happens often). I was explaining to her where I was going: a charity event where people get dressed up and enjoy an evening of great food from Kansas City area restaurants and live entertainment, and the proceeds benefit KCPT kids programming. Her response was, "KCPT, is that the channel 19 we used to watch all the time before we got cable?"
Wow. I was slightly sad. We used to watch KCPT all the time, and truly enjoyed many of their programs. I honestly couldn't remember the last time I turned the channel to KCPT. The channels my daughter turns to first now-a-days are Disney and Nickelodeon. I made a vow to myself right then and there to start tuning the channel to KCPT more often. In fact, I just checked the KCPT Program schedule and tonight at 7pm is the Best of The Ten Years of Riverdance. Me being the dance lover that I am, am going to totally dig that.

The Barclay Martin Ensemble provided live entertainment

The evening included trips for all to the top of the Liberty Memorial Tower. The view is always breath-taking from up there. A MUST-DO if you have never done. This is the view of Union Station and downtown KC from the top of the tower.
