Okay, so tell us a bit then, Melissa, about what people can expect from this year's event.
2:07
Yeah, so there's lots going on.
2:09
There's a lot of things for children.
2:11
So there's like a kids activity corner and there'd be athletics, lots of running races from juniors up to 14 years.
2:20
And then there's tractor run.
2:23
So it's a tractor, trike, bike and truck run for all the kids have to bring.
2:29
All ages can take part.

You know, you're a newer, I don't know, are you a newer member of the committee, Melissa, or maybe just newer to being a secretary? Are there other, is there more young blood coming through or is that something you're trying to stress or highlight the kind of passing of the bat on? You want to keep an eye on ensuring that that happens.

Melissa, can you tell me a little bit more about the new Clio app and how that idea came about?
7:18
The arts went through a strategic visioning process over a course of about a year and a half.
7:23
One of the directives that came from that visioning was to somehow create an audio tour.
7:29
I fortunately have a wonderful assistant, Jayden Mayer, and I gave her the task of researching different apps that are available.
7:38
And we found, or she found really, the Clio app, which is created by a Leawood resident, and it's very easy to use.
7:47
And so we went for it.
7:50
And so currently we have three tours, one that's around Leawood City Park.
