Kansas City Ballet – 2023 Sugar Plum Fairy Children’s Ball

The Sugar Plum Fairy Children’s Ball was a magical occasion for young and old alike! The festive event was held on December 2nd at The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center. Carrie Kruse and Jennifer Pontier were the co-chairmen. With a luncheon reminiscent of Clara’s Holiday Party, lots of activities, and, of course, a performance of The Nutcracker, the day was fanciful and fun! Proceeds support the Kansas City Ballet School.
