The Kent Chamber of Commerce’s annual Experience Kent – a free family event – returned to the ShoWare Center on Thursday.
The event included exhibitions, the Taste of Kent, education and do-it-yourself presentations, the Turkey Challenge Food Drive, prizes and giveaways.
The Taste of Kent served up a wide variety of food.
“I think the event went really well,” said Andrea Keikkala, executive director of the Kent Chamber of Commerce. “We saw a big boost in residential attendance. We have been getting awesome feedback from our vendors who are very happy with the event. We had 74 vendors representing all facets of business from cremation services to dance lessons. Many of our vendors went all out on decorating their booth.”
Two Men and A Truck defended its title of Best Booth for two years running. The business made its booth a castle entirely out of moving boxes.
Century Link was the presenting sponsor of the event.
