Fountain Ice

The Concourse Fountain here in Historic Northeast remains on year-round. It produces some spectacular mounds of ice in a short amount of time. Here are some scenes from today.

Princess Throned, Decorations Honed

The Fairy Princess has returned to the Kansas City Museum. Begun in 1935 at Kline's Department Store, the Princess greets all children in her Throne Room on the north side of the Museum Complex. For days and times please go to this link: http://kansascitymuseum.org/fairy.html
She has a brand new Throne this year. Below, the gates are decorated and open...

The Princess has lots of helpers. Squire Leitch and Mouzin, Lady-in-Waiting Rebecca, and many Elves help her with her duties.

First comes a picture and then, with a wave of her magic wand, a box opens and there is a gift for the visiting child.












There is a Princess Gift Shop which is womanned by Princess Emeritus Erika....
