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

PROGRAMMING

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 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.

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.
