KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Missouri native pop star is taking over Kansas City for a sold-out two-day concert this weekend.
Pop star Chappell Roan is performing two sold-out shows at the National WWI Museum and Memorial today and tomorrow night.
Thousands of fans are expected to pack Liberty Memorial. The excitement has been felt in small businesses as well.
“You know, it's so fun. So normally, this time of year, we're getting into fall. We have our apple pie rolls that we just kind of phased out. We're moving into pumpkin season and whoopee pies and all the things getting ready for holidays, but now we're doing cookies and cookies and cookies and cakes. So it's been so fun. It's been a fun warm up for my team to play and get to enjoy the things that they love,” said Erin Brown owner of Dolce Bakery in Mission.
Brown said leading up to this weekend, it's been all hands on deck at the shop.
"Everyone's a cookie decorator this week. So aprons on, packing up cookies, baking cookies, so it's really fun just providing more opportunities for my team," said Brown.
