If you will be arriving in Kansas City a little before the Keepsake Ornament Club event, be sure to check out the “Hallmark Live” events that will be taking place at the Hallmark Visitors Center.

If you’ve never been to a Hallmark Live event, it’s a small event with the artist(s) sharing concept sketches, sculpts and various types of production samples of their work (sometimes they even create while you’re there). Although the artist usually has a short presentation, much of the time is spent answering questions and chatting. There are a few places to sit, but most people stand or sit on the floor. It’s a small space that fills up fast, so arrive early.
