In this episode of the Lee's Summit Town Hall podcast, hosts Nick Parker and Liesl Hays are joined by special guest Courtney Laufketter, founder of the annual 12ish Bars of Christmas event set for Dec. 9 in downtown Lee's Summit. While discussing the 10th anniversary of this popular fundraiser, Coutney shares how this event has raised more than $200,000 in its first nine years, supporting thousands of families aided by Hope House — which is a sign of the community's support for an important cause. The episode highlights the various ways to participate, including ticket purchases, donations, and games of chance at participating bars, aiming for a fundraising goal of $40,000 for Hope House's 40th anniversary.
