Kansas City is trying to 'tie' all the bar districts together, solve the dilemma of not being able to find a taxi, and provide a great night out!

Check out the new trolley system for free this weekend that connects:

• Power and Light
• Plaza
• Brookside
• Westport
• 18th and Vine
• Waldo
• Martini Corner

I still remember the days when getting on a school bus at the crack of dawn and going to Worlds of Fun with 100 of my classmates to preform (choir, band, plays - you name it, I did it all) and then run around the park the rest of the day was the highlight of my spring.

Well, Worlds of Fun is opening this weekend along with lots of other great activities for the whole family. Here's a listing of all the wonderful things going on this weekend. 

KC has been named #26 on Forbes' Best Cities for Young Professionals. Last year it barely made the list - this year we jumped 13 spots beating out cities like Orlando, Las Vegas, and Phoenix!

You can see the full article HERE .

On that note, Kansas City has many young professional groups including one that I administer. Join us atwww.kcyoungprofessionals.com

...for holiday lights! And if you thought the Plaza was the only place to find lights you are mistaken. North of the river, down south, east, and west there is a lighting ceremony near you!

Here is a list of places to see the lights and all of them run through the end of the year (some a little bit later).

Take it easy this year, go see some lights, and let someone else pay the electric bill!

I LOOOOOVE Halloween. It probably stems back to when I was little. See, my birthday is in 5 days and then right around the corner is Halloween - which I always thought was a belated birthday present for me. PLUS, I got to dress up and just ask people for 'presents'.

 So every year I get excited about the crisp air, pumpkin patches, apple picking, Louisburg donuts, and all the other fun activities that come along with fall.

Looking for something fun to do this weekend?  Don't forget about the KC Pumpkin Patch in Gardner, Kansas! Just hop on I-35 until you get to the 191st street exit and turn right. They offer way more then just pumpkins, click on the hyper link to see all the festivities!

What a great way to spend some quality family time.
