SUMMARY:Priest of Pallas Collector's Reception
DESCRIPTION:Cordially invited are serious collectors or lovers of “keepsakes” and artifacts from week-long Priests of Pallas festivals between 1887 through 1912\, in Kansas City. The festival was designed to promote Kansas City as the “Athens of the West” to coincide in October with the harvest season\, and be based loosely on similar celebrations such as Mardi Gras in New Orleans. \nThis official meeting of Priests of Pallas Collectors is being held at the Harris/Kearney House at 4000 Baltimore Avenue\, Kansas City\, Mo. 64111 where an exhibit of many private collector’s items and those shared with us by other great organizations’ who support us\, are on display through June 30th. \nComplimentary refreshments will be provided with your registration\, to ensure the right amount will serve all who attend. You are welcome to bring along your pieces or just drop by to visit the exhibit and meet fellow collectors. \nThe photo was taken at the home of former WHS President Steven Knoll and his wife Marianne\, when Steve and Ryland Foster\, WHS board member and Exhibit Director\, were discussing the Noll’s P.O.P. collection. Steve is also the former president of the Jackson County Historical Society and a passionate collector of Kansas City history. The conversations were truly fun so this event will be something you don’t want to miss. \nWestport Historical Society wishes to acknowledge the collaborative effort of groups and individuals who have made the exhibit possible. WHS is offering special thanks for help\, and loans of various historical artifacts and photographs to the following: \n\nJackson County (Missouri) Historical Society\nMissouri Valley Special Collections\, Kansas City Public Library\, Downtown KC\nWonderland Vintage\, Alan Dunham and Andy Chambers\nRyland E.
