7:30-9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 Missouri Innovation Campus Join us for Breakfast for Champions and celebrate entrepreneurship at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 at the Missouri Innovation Campus, 1101 NW Innovation Pkwy. We’ll hear from Megan Day of Burnt Finger BBQ and updates from Jon Cundiff of Velocity Lee’s Summit.

World Champion pitmasters, Megan and Jason Day are ambassadors to the art, culture and sport of live-fire barbecue. Known as Burnt Finger BBQ, the couple created the world’s first viral barbecue recipe, the world-famous Bacon Explosion™.

Megan was the darling of Food Network’s “Chopped Grillmasters’ Season 4, winning the title of ‘Chopped’ Champion. In February of 2019, Southern Living Magazine named her “One of the Most Influential Woman in Southern Barbecue” and filmed several online videos to accompany the article. Megan and her husband Jason have cooked live on The ‘TODAY show’ and filmed a feature segment on Food Network’s ‘The Kitchen’.

Today, they crisscross the country competing, making personal appearances, dreaming up new recipes, selling their delicious products, entertaining, evangelizing barbecue and inspiring families to get outside to cook and eat together.

Member News & Events Kick off the Holiday Season with the Mayor’s Tree Lighting Celebration on Nov. 22 Join Mayor Baird on November 22nd in Howard Station Park for the annual Mayor’s Tree Lighting in downtown Lee’s Summit.

Dozens of locally-owned shops and restaurants will stay open late for you to enjoy holiday shopping and dining before or after the program.

The program begins at 6:30 p.m., and will feature not one, but two special guests from the North Pole to help welcome the holiday season in Lee’s Summit. Santa’s right hand man, Buddy the Elf, will be here to help Mayor Baird flip the switch to light downtown Lee’s Summit in over 100,000 sparkling lights! Free cookies and keepsake ornaments will be available while supplies last.

Codie Allen from 106.5 The Wolf will emcee the event, as Buddy the Elf leads the crowd in welcoming our next special guest, Santa! Santa and Mrs. Claus will make

their grand entrance at 7:00 p.m. and then stay for photos with children until 8:30 p.m. before they journey back up to the North Pole. Be sure to bring the kiddos and a camera for some photos with Santa!

The Mayor’s Tree Lighting is hosted by Downtown Lee’s Summit Main Street, the City of Lee’s Summit, and presented by Security Bank of Kansas City. Special guest, Buddy the Elf, made possible by the generous support of Paradise Park. Special thanks to our Spirit of Community sponsor, Cosentino’s Price Chopper and our supporting sponsors, GEHA, Jason Langston Farmers Insurance, Midwest Property Resources, and Summit Video Services for helping make this family tradition possible.

Every year, downtown Lee’s Summit captures the magic of the holidays with this tradition in the central business district and the lights remain on through the first week in January.

They are proud to help raise funds for the collective mission of feeding those in need and over 4,700 residents will benefit. In support of this charity effort, on October 15, 2019 Mayor Baird proclaimed November 2019 as Feed Lee’s Summit Month to bring awareness of hunger in the Lee’s Summit community and to encourage our citizens and businesses help to diminish hunger in our hometown.
