The American Royal is in full swing here in Kansas City. In fact, it’s the venue for today’s Country Living Olympics which I’ll be attending this afternoon. During yesterday’s Country Living Outlook Conference I could hear a lot of noise in Kemper Arena so I snuck out on a break to see what was going on. It must have been kids day because there were a lot of them in the stands.

This guy was giving them a bullwhip demonstration which included snapping off the ends of flowers sticking out of his mouth. Not something I’d recommend trying at home.

Since there’s a lot of activity going on you’ll find photos like these in the set I’m building from the Country Living Association activities taking place.
