KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Actor Eric Stonestreet will help light up Kansas City's Country Club Plaza for the holidays on Thanksgiving night.
Stonestreet is a native of Kansas City, Kan., and one of the stars of ABC-TV's comedy "Modern Family." On Thursday night, he'll flip the switch that turns on more than 250,000 lights outlining buildings in Kansas City, Mo.'s upscale shopping and dining district.
