Kansas City Museum – Derby Party
The Kansas City Museum Foundation hosted its ninth annual Derby Party on May 4th. Amy and David Embry were the honorary chairs, and Board Member Darcy Frick Stewart served as the chair. More than 500 partygoers donned their favorite derby fashion and enjoyed southern bites, local spirits, watching the race, and music from Cowtown Country Club. Proceeds support the Museum’s education and public programs.
