The month of October brings with it beautiful fall colors, pumpkins, a crispness in the air and the Junior League of Kansas City’s annual fundraiser Holiday Mart. I’m giving away two tickets to this years event. One person will receive two single day tickets for Holiday Mart 2015. I decided to combine the tickets to give to one person because frankly, shopping is much more fun when you have a friend with you. Holiday Mart takes place at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Missouri and runs from Thursday, October 22 – Sunday, October, 25. The Junior League has graciously donated the tickets, but all of the opinions expressed are my own.
I’ve attended the Kansas City Holiday Mart for many years with friends and it is an event I look forward to every year. I never leave the event empty handed. Since Holiday Mart began in 1988, JLKCMO has raised nearly $10 million to help support the Kansas City community. Holiday Mart has made it possible for the League to make a financial impact on a variety of programs in the Kansas City community. The League’s current focus is on Women and Children with programs designed to reduce Abuse and Neglect, support Childhood Development and increase Women’s Self-Sustainability.
The KC Holiday Mart features nearly 200 specialty retailers offering unique and oftentimes exclusive products and specialty gift items. Special events at the Mart include Preferential Shopping, Ladies Night Out (sponsored by Kendra Scott Jewelry), a book signing with Lela Davidson and a chance to win a trip for two to Las Vegas!
I hope to see you at this year’s Holiday Mart. All you have to do is leave me a comment below. What is your favorite gift to give? If you follow me on instagram or pinterest you get an additional entry. Please indicate that in your comment. I will randomly choose a winner. The last day to enter is Monday, October 19, 2015. I will notify the winner by email and the single day tickets will be held under your name at the will call booth. Tickets are also available to purchase at ticketmaster.
The winner of the giveaway is Emily Walter.

JOYFUL GREETINGS, DAWN! I hope to take my 80-year-old Mother, Ruby! I love to buy her wrapping paper – every year we look for Toy Soldier paper. She collects Toy Soldiers and has them ALL OVER THE HOUSE at Christmas. She game me my first one when my Son was born, so now we both collect!

I love getting the holidays started with Holiday Mart! I usually buy unique gifts there that I like, which are perfect for giving to friends and family (or keeping for myself). 🙂 I like to shop the new or out of town vendors as well as local, tried and true favorites – the best part is that it’s all in one location!
