Bessie Belles KC Run
About this Event
Start the Baseball, Brass & BBQ weekend off Friday at the Royals vs Padres game. Saturday, we'll visit the historic 18th and Vine district to tour the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum. We'll check out some sights and murals, to include the structure that symbolizes the house of Sarah Rector (once known as the "richest colored girl in the world"). We wouldnt dare come to KC and not ride the street car or try their renowned Bar-B-Que (Gates).
