Things To Do in Kansas City including Olathe and Overland Park, KS.

Holy smokes! Plenty of fantastic activity on board for Kansas Citians this weekend! Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan, or the kind of person who wants to pitch in and help those in need, we’ve got the right opportunity for YOU!

Cancer Crawl-The Crawl For Cancer ™ has a unique mission to host events that raise money to help people affected by cancer and other disabilities. We are doing what we can to help those in need. Since the creation of the Crawl For Cancer in Kansas City in 2001, it has had an impact far beyond anything we envisioned when we first started it. With the help of all our volunteers, we have been able to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people in need!
Art for Kids-Combine kids, the arts and nature and you have ARTS for KIDS, a unique event for children, ages 2-12. During this fun-filled event, children will be introduced to the wealth of creative materials that nature provides, along with the pleasures of the Children's Garden at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Adults and children will create nature crafts, go on a hay wagon ride, learn about animals in their natural habitat, participate in a puppet show, listen to local musicians, play games and more. For $6 per person, ages 2 and over, it's a bargain that will help children learn how to use common elements creatively, including leaves, pine cones, hedge apples and rocks.
Not much going on at The Sprint Center
Dinosaurs Unearthed!-The exhibit will explore the theory, supported by fossil discoveries in 1996, that some dinosaurs had feathers and were ancestors to modern birds. Several of the animated models, including a juvenile T. Rex, have feathers. The exhibit also has five life-size reproductions of articulated dino skeletons, including one 62 feet long, and more than 40 other fossil reproductions.
Kansas City Royals vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays-The Kansas City Royals will host Fan Appreciation Night presented by Sprint on Saturday, October 2. During the annual event, the club will salute fans with great prizes throughout the game as the Royals host the Tampa Bay Rays. Game time is set for 6:10 p.m. This looks like ablast, especially as the Fall chill sets in!
BIG BUGS-We've got ants in our plants and swarms of family fun as Dave Rogers' Big Bugs returns to Powell Gardens, Kansas City's botanical garden! See the new 10-foot-tall daddy long legs and 10 of his oversized friends, all made from natural materials. Kids will enjoy the "I Dig Bugs" sand pit, a child-sized ant hill, a native insect "Crawleseum" and more. Special activities are planned on opening day and different bugs are highlighted on Saturdays throughout the summer.
American Royal Barbecue- Attend the world's largest Barbecue Contest! Over 500 teams compete for fame and prizes. Proceeds go to the American Royal Education & Scholarship Fund.
Memory Walk for Alzheimer’s-The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $300 million for the cause. Memory Walk is a festive community event that joins friends, family and co-workers as they walk to end Alzheimer’s. Participants can walk the 1 or 3-mile route individually or as a team (must consist of a minimum of 5 people). In 2009, more than 200 teams participated and our goal for 2010 is for 250 teams to walk together on October 2nd.
