A holiday tradition, Kent celebrated its annual Winterfest gathering in the Town Square Plaza last Saturday.
After an arts and crafts session at Down Home Catering, the festivities moved to the library for Christmas story readings by the Kent Lions Club.
The evening concluded with children and adults gathering in the plaza to watch the tree lighting.
In addition to the tree lighting, the night featured alpacas to pet, hot chocolate to drink and carolers to listen to.
The evening culminated with Santa Claus arriving on a pedicab sleigh pulled by City Councilmembers dressed as reindeer with Mayor Suzette Cooke leading the way as Rudolph.
