The Kent Downtown Partnership wants to thank the 400-plus people who attended our Kent Wine Walk on Sept. 19. Our first wine walk was last May with 266 people in attendance.
Our goal for hosting the wine walk was to bring awareness to the businesses in downtown Kent. I think we achieved that with flying colors.
It felt good to have our participants thanking us for introducing or reintroducing them to our downtown and the downtown businesses. “We didn’t know all these stores were downtown. We can’t wait to come back to shop.”
Events like these don’t happen without volunteers. They worked hard, and we appreciate everything they did to contribute to the success of the wine walk. We hosted 12 wineries and two breweries. We also appreciate the wineries and breweries who participated and for their patience as we were learning the ropes.
We know we have a special historic downtown, and now more and more people are discovering their downtown as well.
We can’t wait for our next wine walk, which will be May 8.
– Barbara Smith, executive director, Kent Downtown Partnership
