Congratulations to Julie B. and her family of Leawood! They are the winners of the Tour of Gymnastics Superstars ticket giveaway!

Other than Michael Phelps, the biggest drama and excitement out of the Beijing Olympics back in August was gymnastics. If you and your family were anything like ours, we were glued to the TV on nights when gymnastics was featured. The 2008 Olympics made superstars of young American gymnasts Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson.

Lukin, Johnson and a whole crew of other fantastic American gymnasts will be at Sprint Center in Kansas City on November 16th with the 2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars. Several members of the men’s Olympic gymnastics team will perform as well as former Olympians Shannon Miller, Paul Hamm and Morgan Hamm.

The show starts at 6:00pm on Sunday, November 16th. Tickets are still available - check out Sprint Center’s website for details. (more…)

The NBA is coming to Sprint Center on Friday, October 10th - and guess who is going to be there?
