This week on The Local Show, Nick Haines gets an update from Gary Forsee on efforts to host a global symposium on innovations in animal health as part of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce’s Big 5 Ideas. We go inside the National Agricultural Hall of Fame which pays tribute to our nation’s food producers. We continue our Women and Girls Lead series with a profile of Brionna Williams who has overcome chronic asthma and obesity to become a highly recruited student athlete. Finally, we document a journey of inspiration which took art students of Paseo Academy from the grasslands of the Flint Hills to an art gallery in Brookside.
