BOTAR/American Royal Activities

As the 125th season for the American Royal and the 75th season for the BOTAR Organization both wind down, there has been a flurry of activities this fall, keeping volunteers and attendees quite busy! Our hat is off to another fantastic year for both organizations, which make such important contributions to the civic life of Kansas City and surrounding areas.
