to welcome you to Kent and the 40th annual Kent Cornucopia Day’s celebration held July 7 -10 with a multitude of activities, entertain-ment, 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, in-cluding magnificent smells from over 40 food booths to tempt the palate, and entertainment to capture your attention. Join us Sunday, July 10 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 11th annual “Cornucopia Dragon Boat Races” will be held on July 9 at Lake Meridian Park with help from the KDBA. The Kent Youth Soccer Association will also host the 12th annual “Cornucopia Cup” and will have over 150 teams this year from the 7 – 10th. The 15th annual Kent Cornucopia Days Skateboard Tourna-ment will be held on July 9th benefiting the Lions “Camp Leo” for diabetic kids. Our 3rd annual Cornucopia Pet Adoptithon will be held at Burlington Green Park from the 8-10th. And the 2nd annual 25, 60, and new 100 mile Bike Ride will all be held on July 17th by the Emerald City Lights Bike Ride Organization.

The Kent Lions produces Kent Cornucopia Days each year. Mem-bers 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 on the 9th. We hope you will join us in ac-knowledging 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!

2011 Grand Parade

The Grand Parade will be on Sunday, July 10, at 2:00 pm,

along 4th Ave from Saar to James Street.

This year’s parade theme is “Kent Cornucopia – 40 & Fabulous.”2nd AnnuAl Kids’ BiKe RideOur children of Kent are encouraged to decorate their bikes

and practice their parade waves as parents and friends look on the sidelines. There won’t be a separate category for the kids this year but rather a chance just to join in and have fun being in our home town parade. We are anticipating the presence of several floats including our very own Kent Lions “Kent Cornucopia Days” float. Seafair pirates and clowns, and the Seattle All City band.

seAfAiR RoyAltyIn its 63nd year, the tradition of SEAFAIR Royalty is rich with

custom and acclaim. Known throughout the Northwest and as far away as Mexico and Japan. SEAFAIR Royalty serves as the official “mascots” for SEAFAIR and Greater Seattle. King Neptune Rex and the Prime Minister for decades have embodied the Puget Sound Area’s image of fun, celebration and community involvement and esteem.

King Neptune Rex and his Prime Minister represent the SEAFAIR Festival at key events throughout the year. They symbolize the dignity of the community and serve as greeters and promotional spokespersons for the festival. The King is chosen for his community leadership and stature. The Prime Minister is chosen from the experienced ranks of SEAFAIR and provides festival continuity and knowledge.

The King is the highest honorary dignitary of SEAFAIR, is recognized as such throughout the Pacific Northwest, attends key SEAFAIR events and out-of-town festivals with the SEAFAIR Float tour, and serves as a representative of SEAFAIR and of the City of Seattle.

Saturday the 9th, dozens of teams will come to Kent to race for medals. The races begin at 8:30 am until 6 pm. Nearly 40 teams are coming in from all over Canada, Washington & Oregon, along with individual paddlers from California and across the nation! There will be numerous local Kent teams racing for the honors. The Kent Lions and the Kent Dragon Boat Association have spent all year planning for this event; it is the largest Dragon Boat Race in the State of Washington and part of the Northwest Circuit Chal-lenge. The beautiful venue of Lake Meridian provides the perfect location for this style of race while giving the team members and public an outstanding view. This race benefits the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing.

There will be food, vendors, and displays for all ages.

DRAGON BOAT RACING

What is Dragon Boat Racing?

Dragon boat racing is people friendly, and takes into team’s peo-ple of varying degrees of athletic ability and physical limitations. Some teams are recreational, in condition, and others may be seriously athletic. Some others may be blind, survivors of disease such as cancer, have diabetes, and have other special needs. They learn about what they can achieve and do not allow themselves to be overwhelmed with any restrictions. They celebrate life by being actively engaged with it, and having a great time living it.

The time spent in a dragon boat results in teams learning to work together in unison to race to the finish line first. The skills that are acquired have more to do with technique and synchroniza-tion, than brawn. Upper body strength is achieved in the gym and increased in the dragon boat, however. Dragon boats can go at a fast clip, rising upon the water, as paddlers do up to 90 strokes and more a minute, an amount for a well seasoned experienced team. In China a dragon boat team looks like an extremely fast perpetual motion machine. The lighter the weight, the more seasoned the paddlers, the faster they can go.

The Kent Dragon Boat Association sent a team to Taiwan to participate in a Dragon Boat Festival on June 4th, 2011

The Kent Cornucopia Days has a long and historical presence in Kent.

In the 1890’s, the community of Kent had some form of a “Festi-val” to celebrate the harvest of the lettuce in the Kent Valley, which at the time was a well known lettuce farming region of the country. However, details are very spotty about the festival or event during this time period.

We do however have documentation of the 1st annual “Kent Let-tuce Festival” in 1934, a run that ended in 1937 (we do have some evidence that it also occurred in 1938). This four year run was pri-marily sponsored by the Kent American Legion. Also involved with the event were the Kent Commercial Club (which became the Kent Lions Club in 1938), the Kent Breakfast Club, the Kent Eagles, the Kent Kiwanis Club, the Young Men’s Breakfast Club, and the Izaak Walton League. The festival ended when its chief promoter William Harn left the area for Bellingham, where he soon became Mayor. You should also note that this is the time of the “Great Depression” (starting at the end of 1929 until the early 1940’s) and “World War II” (which for our country was from 1941 until 1945).

Shortly after World War II, the festival was resurrected and ran for several years starting in 1946 and was known as the “Cornucopia Festival” to represent the now newly diversified crops being grown in the Kent Valley. We are not sure who organized it at this time, but there was a group that was formed and incorporated in 1951 at “Kent Cornucopia Inc”. This group appears to have run the festival until the end of 1954 when the Kent American Legion was asked to run this festival, and ran (we believe) until at least 1965. It is un-known why it ended this time around.

We are not sure yet if a “festival” per se was in existence during the years of 1965 - 1969. However, there was a short lived “Home Show” that was held indoors for a couple of years during this time period. It was advertised as a resurrection of the “Cornucopia Festival”. The chairman of this event was area businessman and Kent Lions Club member Ed Jahn.

We do have documentation of the Ezra Meeker Days in 1969 & 1970, and possibly 1971 from a very short news clip but not much else. Then in 1971 (with the first festival held in 1972), the Kent Lions and other community organizations (all now non-existent except for the Kent Lions Club) named the festival “Meeker Days” since the club’s Street Fair took place on only a couple of blocks along Meeker Street (named after the Ezra Meeker business). Credit for founding this newer festival goes to Dave Hillemeyer, a Kent Lion and original chairman of the festival. The Kent Lions worked closely with the Kent Federated Women’s Club (no longer in exis-tence), and together these two groups brought our festival through it formative years.

In 1980, it was agreed that the City of Puyallup would retain the title of “Meeker Days” due too the Ezra Meeker Mansion being in that city even though Meeker Street in Kent was named after the same man. In that decision, the Kent Lions agreed to have the Kent Festival renamed to “Cornucopia Days” (after the downtown as-sociation of merchants in Kent, which owned the rights to that title, disbanded its corporation) an adaptation from the 1940’s when the event was known as the “Cornucopia Festival”, with a permanent theme of “The Festival of the Valley”. In 1981, we have the first ap-pearance of “Kent Cornucopia Days Festival”. The Kent Lions Club exclusively maintains this festival, and our festival is now commonly referred to as “Kent Cornucopia Days”, “The Festival of the Valley”.
