Today is our last day in Kansas City. The cool thing about coming to Kansas City for me (Mrs. Holladay) is that I used to live and work here. I was a producer at the local CBS affiliate - KCTV5. Fortunately, I still have friends that are working there and was able to schedule a tour. It is nice for the students to see what a working news station is like - especially after a tough competition. The Michigan Audio Team (and Mrs. Holladay's former students) from St. Clair TEC also got a chance to come with us for the tour. Above you can see Jeff auditioning for a spot on the KCTV5 News team.

Of course after the tour of the television station - we went on a short driving tour of all my favorite spots and we had to stop at my favorite ice cream shop of all times - Murray's Cookies & Ice Cream in the Westport neighborhood. This was my second trip in two days!
