In conjunction with Small Business Sat., Main Street Kent is having a "Sweet Finds Contest" from 1:00-5:00, wheer shoppers can hunt for hidden "sweet treats" in designated downtown businesses and enter to win great prizes. Participating businesses include: Belleria, Dragonfly, Fresco, Gracylane, Off the Wagon, McKay Bricker Framing & Black Squirrel Gifts, Sue Nelson Designs, The Market Path, UniversiTees & Yogurt Vi. Pick up entry forms at Earl's Nest in Acorn Alley and return it to same location by 5:00 pm same day. Free cookies and live music will also be available in Earl's Nest.
The night will be topped off with the illumination of the downtown holiday lights, decorations & a business window lighting/decorating contest. The theme for the contest this year is "trains' and will be judged by local author Bruce Dzeda. Come downtown and see what the business owners create for their displays while enjoying a local shopping experience. Then come back to see Santa come to town on the train the following weekend, Dec. 7th at the Festival of Lights, hosted by the Kent Area Chamber of Commerce.
