On Saturday, October 15th, downtown Kent will be transformed into a miniature golf course for the “Putt Around Downtown” event. Main Street Kent is hosting this unique, family-friendly event where each participating business will create a custom miniature golf hole for participating golfers to play. Complementary light snacks and refreshments will be provided along the way, and participants are encouraged to complete the course at their leisure, stopping to enjoy some lunch, drinks and/or shopping during the round. The event will run from 1-4pm, with an awards presentation and drinks to follow at the “19th Hole” – the Venice Café. Tickets are $15 per golfer, or $50 per foursome. All golfers will receive one raffle ticket to enter in the prize drawings, and additional raffle tickets will be awarded for hole-in-one shots earned along the way. A limited number of tickets are available at http://www.mainstreetkent.org/#/putt-around-downtown/4590812279.
The fun will begin at the Destination Kent Visitor Centre (located at 201 E. Erie St.) where participants will check in and receive a commemorative golf ball, scorecard, and course map – then the tournament will start. Each group will be sent off to their starting hole (like a shotgun tournament), then after completing all eighteen holes, meet back up with all of the other golfers at the “19th Hole” for a celebratory drink and awards celebration with lots of prizes! Putters will be provided at each participating “hole”/business. Prizes will be awarded for the most creatively dressed group, lowest score, highest score, and more. All participants will be entered in a raffle to win rounds of golf, golf balls, and other great prizes. Grab the kids or a group of friends and hit the links in downtown Kent! Stick around afterwards for some delicious food at the new Erie Street Kitchen, located inside the Venice Café, too.
