There has been much talk of events happening during All-Star Week. I thought I would create a thread where we could gather info of events and such and so people who might want to meet other RR-ers in the real world would know who and what and where.
Official MLB events can be found here.
KCPD says you can sign-up to get police text alerts about All-Star game events by texting ALLSTARKC to 888-777.
