An excessive heat warning and temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit couldn't keep the crowds away from Kent's 17th Annual Heritage Festival Saturday.

I think it is more than 17 years !!! The Heritage Festival started out as " Kent Fest" !! Mid 80's !!! Great times !!!
I still have a button from the first one !! I was working at Rays Place, and the organizers came in to pass them out to patrons !! Great Memories !!!

I missed going to the festival this year--it was just too hot for me and I knew my limits. I hope everyone had a great time.

There was no festival downtown in 1995. The Kent Heritage Festival started in 1996. I have the t-shirt to prove it.
It is a long story - maybe Matt will write it. Hint, hint.

I've heard that the festival has been going on for a few decades and started under a different name. But this is indeed the 17th year for the "Kent Heritage Festival."
