Patti Leatherman with KCHI

Last Updated 3/13/2025Posted in Downtown Spotlight


This week the spotlight is on Patti Leatherman with KCHI!

 Starting out with a little fun fact! Did you know the KCHI building used to be a bowling alley?! 🎳 🎨

Favorite Color?
Pink! Just because it is, duh. Patti even quoted Steel Magnolias: "Pink is my signature color."

🐶 Do you have any pets?
Patti has a 4-year-old Labradoodle who "forgot to doodle." Lacking curls but overflowing with cuteness, her name is Beans—and we’re absolutely in love with that.

🎤 Any unusual talents or interests?
"I sing really bad, but that doesn’t stop me." Hey, you can’t be good at everything, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying! (Her co-workers may have a different opinion.)

⭐ Do you collect anything?
If it has a star on it, Patti has to have it. Probably because she’s the star of her own show.

🎶 Favorite music genre or artist?
Of course we had to ask this question! Patti loves old and new rock, Broadway musicals, Disney songs, and so much more.

🏪 Favorite downtown restaurant or business?
She loves them all and refuses to choose! Her best advice? Always shop local.
