Princess Arrival

The throne room, above, was ready and a welcoming bow adorned the gate as the Kansas City Museum welcomed the Fairy Princesses back for their 2012 appearances.  

 The Museum's Carriage House is festively adorned in keeping with the season... and Friday night was their neighborhood open house.  Anyone from the six Northeast Neighborhoods was welcome to attend.

 The Fairy Princess will greet her young subjects beginning tomorrow, Sat. Dec 1.  Check out the KC Museum site for other days and times.  http://www.kansascitymuseum.org/fairy.html

 Christopher Leitch, Museum Director, introduced the four young ladies who will occupy the throne this year...

 Above, this year's winners of the Museum's Halloween Princess Contest were introduced. Also, in the center, Carol Barta who was a Princess in 1957.    Below, Councilman Scott Wagner and Neighborhood Leader Jeff Zumsteg were in attendance.
