Founding members Sharon Short, Debbie Dance Uhrig, and Alicia Stephens started Platte City Friends of the Arts in 1999 with a concert at Snow Creek featuring singer-songwriter, Connie Dover. Terry Durand joined the board and the group was off and running. The friends then produced an art show in the showroom at All Pro Ford and began a community orchestra. Sharon, Debbie, Alicia and Terry are so proud of the continuing interest that the community and the present board members and all past board members have shown to the arts in Platte City.
