Shelley Zucht served as chairman. Guests enjoyed a performance by the Kansas City Youth Ballet, caroling by the Ginger Frost High School Honors Artists from the Lyric Opera and shopping at the Nutcracker market. After delicious refreshments, face painting and the antics of magicians and jugglers, the pièce de résistance awaited: The Nutcracker, a presentation of the Kansas City Ballet.
