Hands On The Heartland
Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

The American Royal kicked off back in September with the American Royal Parade but the festivities really get under way this week. Kick off the weekend’s events this Thursday at PBR Big Sky in the Power and Light District. They’ll have a mechanical bull riding competition and a drawing for free tickets to the American Royal Pro Rodeo and the after-rodeo concert events. If you haven’t attended the American Royal in the past, the event draws upwards of 80,000 visitors annually and it’s certainly a big-time annual fall event here in the Kansas City area.

The American Royal Pro Rodeo event is at Kemper Arena this Saturday and Sunday and features the top cowboys and cowgirls in the midwest competing for $150,000 in prizes. If you’re wondering whether there will be rodeo clowns, barbeque, barrel racing and a rodeo monkey riding on a dog’s back, the answers are yes, yes, yes and hopefully.  Then after the rodeo Friday night, Pat Green plays a live concert. On Saturday after the rodeo it’s Kansas’ own Sara Evans  turn to wrap up the evening at the rodeo.  After the shows Friday and Saturday night, the party continues at PBR Big Sky where there’s free entry for those who attended the Rodeo and bring their ticket stub. Or if you’re looking for a bigger dance floor, you could head to Denim and Diamonds or Whiskey Tango for some two-stepping.
