The 8th annual Treads & Threads is fast approaching and is looking to be another successful year. If you are looking for a great evening filled with fabulous eating, drinking and dancing this is the place to be. This years event will be held on Friday Sept. 11, 2009. Here is the event schedule:
Our party venue roars
Entertain your special guests in a private tent or hospitality area in a venue like no other: inside the oval of Kansas Speedway, America’s most scenic NASCAR track. The exclusive sponsors’ and patrons’ pre-party offers the opportunity to mingle with other top corporate, business and civic leaders.
Serving up a gourmet feast
Savor scrumptious gourmet fare from the Kansas City area’s premier restaurants, caterers and dessert specialists. Enjoy the featured martini ice bar, fine wines and other specialty drinks concocted just for our event!
Headline entertainment: Michael McDonald
Groove to the legendary “blue-eyed soul” of five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald as he commands center stage. A pop music icon for more than 30 years, he’s contributed mega-hits like “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “Minute By Minute,” “What A Fool Believes” and dozens of others.
Fireworks frolic among the stars
Delight in a fireworks fantasy that rivals Independence Day as it explodes across the nighttime sky.
Black-tie or creative black-tie?
