Summertime in the Kansas City area is filled with exciting events of all kinds to attend. Recently my friend and jewelry designer Beth Cosner ( her custom jewelry slideshow is below on my site) invited me to attend the Stem's Soiree benefiting The Arts and Recreation Foundation of Overland Park. It took place at one of the most beautiful settings in the area, The Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Beth brought her sister Nancy and I invited my daughter-in-law Robin for an evening of art, music, fireworks, food from over 20 area restaurants and fine wine from Dos Puentes!
I hope you enjoy some of the images from this very special evening and consider attending this fun filled cultural event next year if you are in the area. It is well worth the visit to the arboretum and botanical gardens any time!
Upon arrival, guests received a hand painted wine glass to carry through the the evening for tastings.

This looks like a fun evening! In St. Petersburg, we have a similar event every year, when a portion of the street that faces Tampa Bay is closed off and long tables stretch right down the middle of the whole street.
Hi, Karena - Your test is working!
