Richard Simmons tells you how to eat in Overland Park next week

One of the big celebrity draws for next weekend’s Hen House Holiday Celebration at the Overland Park Convention Center will be Milton Teagle Simmons. Milton is better known as pixieish weight-loss superstar Richard Simmons. That’s right: the infomercial tycoon who sells videos, DVDs, books and the infamous 6-quart food steamer.

The other celebrities scheduled to appear during the three-day event include TV personality Anne Peterson, “fish consultant” Gary Puetz and the Purina Incredible Dog Team. Several local chefs will also offer cooking demonstrations.
