The 69th BOTAR Ball
The Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown was the setting for the 69th BOTAR Ball on October 20th. Trapp and Company created an opulent atmosphere, with a French-inspired blue and gold design, that resembled an intimate art deco club lounge setting. The BOTARs wore beautiful red gowns designed by Mary Neddo. Flowers were everywhere: hydrangeas, lilies, orchids, and roses in hues of red, yellow, coral, and white. Guests dined on autumn salad, filet mignon, split lobster tails, and decadent chocolate desserts. Galaxy Red played for the dancers (and there were many!) until the midnight hour. Blythe Robertson served as president.
