2018 Big Slick Celebrity Weekend

The co-hosts for the ninth annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend were David Koechner, Rob Riggle, Paul Rudd, Eric Stonestreet, and Jason Sudeikis. June 1st and 2nd were jam-packed with events. The weekend began with a hospital visit and press conference at Children’s Mercy Adele Hall Campus on Friday morning. That night, Kauffman Stadium was the place to be for the Celebrity Softball Game. Saturday was the day for the Celebrity Bowling Tournament and Bocce at Pinstripes with patients from Children’s Mercy, plus a Block Party at Prairiefire. Saturday night? Guests attended an auction and yet another swell party, this time at the Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland.
