Letter from the Mayor of Kent & the Kent
Cornucopia Days Director - 2010
It is our pleasure to welcome you to Kent and the 39th
annual Kent Cornucopia Day's celebration held July 8 -11 with a
multitude of activities, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.
South King County’s oldest and
largest festival features a full size carnival and street fair with a
wonderful array of 600 booths offering a variety of items, including
magnificent smells from over 35 food booths to tempt the palate, and
entertainment to capture your attention. Join us Sunday, July 11
downtown for South King County’s largest parade – nearly 100 entries.
With such a delightful assortment of activities, there is something for
everyone to enjoy.
The beautiful 10th annual
"Cornucopia Dragon Boat Races" will be held on July 10 at Lake Meridian
Park. The Kent Youth Soccer Association will also host the "Cornucopia
Cup" and will have over 150 teams this year! The 14th annual
Kent Cornucopia Days Skateboard Tournament will be held on July 10th
benefiting the Lions “Camp Leo” for diabetic kids. And new this year is
a 25 & 60 mile Bike Ride on July 10th along with a Kids
Pre-Parade Bike Ride on July 11th by the Emerald City Lights
Bike Ride Organization.
The Kent Lions produces Kent
Cornucopia Days each year. Members and their dedicated volunteers have
devoted thousands of hours to planning and organizing this festival.
They work hard to produce a successful event that appeals to all ages,
groups and interests. The City’s Parks Department will again be
actively involved organizing the 5K Fun Run / Walk. We hope you will
join us in acknowledging all the work they do to bring such a successful
occasion to Kent year after year.
We are happy to have you join us in
celebrating Kent Cornucopia Days. The volunteers thank you for
supporting over 250 non-profit and charitable groups who depend on this
great family festival. Come back to Kent and enjoy our community and
local businesses long after Kent Cornucopia Days are over. Enjoy the
summer!
