Harvesters – Feastival

2026 Issues

Harvesters’ Feastival, the fifth annual fundraiser for The Community Food Network, featured the Monstrous Dinner and the Beastro Brunch at Union Station Kansas City as its very creative components. Kristine and Stephen Penn served as the honorary chairs, and with more than 35 of Our Town’s top eateries participating, guests enjoyed the delectable offerings while raising funds to support the distribution of nutritious food to more than 600 partner agencies across 27 counties of northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas.
