#45-Kyle Petty’s vision to open a Victory Junction Gang Camp in the Kansas City area moved a step closer to reality today. Petty, and his wife, Pattie, addressed more than 200 business and community leaders at the Kansas City Area Development Council this morning at the Westin Crown Center Hotel. They were to spend the afternoon visiting 11 potential sites for the camp, which helps children with chronic and terminal illnesses. An announcement on a site is expected by the end of February, Pattie Petty said. The facility would cost about $50 million to build and could open as soon as 2010. Thursday marked the Pettys’ third visit with representatives from the business, political and medical communities since announcing their interest in a camp in Kansas City last September.(Kansas City Star)(1-25-2008)
