The annual dinner/auction for the Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP) is from 5-9 p.m. Friday, June 6 at the ShoWare Center, 625 W. James St.
The Roaring 20s is this year’s theme.
VIP tickets are available at $85 each; regular ticket price are $65. With a VIP ticket you will have your own registration line for checking into the auction and checking out. The VIP also provides you with a “keep me out of jail wristband” as the Keystone Cops will be visiting the “Speakeasy” that night and handing out tickets.
Proceeds from ticket sales and the auction support KDP’s ongoing efforts toward the revitalization of Kent’s downtown.
KDP works throughout the year to bring people downtown to shop and eat. The group hosts events that bring folks to the downtown corridor, such as its recent Wine Walk. KDP is responsible for the banners, hanging baskets, Christmas decorations and the new ceramic planters and benches in downtown. This year, through its Fund-an-Item event at the dinner/auction, it will raise money to purchase new banners to showcase its new logo and new branding for downtown Kent.
Auction items include a week getaway to Ocean Shores, Russell Wilson jersey and plaque with his photo on it, as well as one of Richard Sherman, Marshawn Lynch and a team photo of the Seahawks Super Bowl champion team.
