All together now: Neighbors enjoyed wellness, music and crafts at Summer on Armour

By Venn – VOL. 2

In June, Venn welcomed hundreds of neighbors in Kansas City to Summer on Armour, a day-long, community-wide celebration featuring tons of family activities, music, food, and drink.

The celebration coincided with the launch of Mac+Venn, our latest partnership with the Midwest-based property developers aimed at promoting neighborhood connection and participation among residents. The celebration was broken into a morning wellness session at the pool house recently revamped by Venn’s in-house Design Team, an afternoon maker’s fair, and evening pool party. It was an incredibly busy and fun day. Take a whirl through the pictures below snapped by local KC photographer Shawn Brackbill.

The morning session began with a poolside sound bath and yoga session led by Tyra Prosser, a local yogi and founder of United Letti Yoga Studio.

It wouldn’t be a wellness morning without a mimosa, right? Neighbors enjoyed fresh fruit and drinks served out of Venn’s retrofitted Citroen truck.

This was the first time Neighbors had the chance to practice at the redesigned pool house featuring a newly painted deck by artist Alex Proba.

After yoga, the energy picked up with water aerobics. Neighbors joined with kids, water wings, and even a mimosa.

In the afternoon, Neighbors had the chance to explore an outdoor market featuring local vendors and artists including Shea Made, a Kansas City-based jeweler.

Quincy, a local candlemaker, mental health professional, and mom shared handmade crafts and a laugh, or two, with Neighbors. Baby Elliot enjoyed himself, too.

Jameson from Dirt Beast Farms, an urban farm collective, sold collard greens, snap peas, and some of the sweetest cherries — all grown in Kansas City.

Neighbors tried to keep a straight face while posing for a custom sketch by local artist Taylor Fourt. When fresh cider and local cherries are involved, that’s easier said than done.

It was a hot one! Neighbors took to the shade of the tent where cold beverages and ice cream were being served.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was an impromptu dance party led by Venn Hosts. DJ Sheppa set the beat as Neighbors and team members joined. We even saw a few pets in the crowd.
