The beautiful 13th annual “Cor-nucopia Dragon Boat Races” will be held on July 13 at Lake Meridian Park. The Kent Youth Soccer As-sociation will also host the “Cornu-copia Cup” and will have over 150 teams this year!

And a 25, & 100 mile Bike Ride on June 29th by the Emerald City Lights Bike Ride Organization.

The Kent Lions produces Kent Cornucopia Days each year.

Members and their dedicated volunteers have devoted thou-sands of hours to planning and organiz-ing 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 13th. We hope you will join us in acknowl-edging 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-profi t and charitable groups who depend on this great family festival.

Kent Historical Society Museum

Since the early days the historical festival has roots going back to 1890’s when the event was known as the “Lettuce Festival.” To continue a family festival that binds the current generations to their past by continuing a historical festival is one of three mission statements adopted by the renamed event known today as “Kent Cornuco-pia Days”.

SAs a part of the binding, we encourage resident to reflect on Kent’s historical past. The Historical Society Museum, which started in 1992, purchased the Bereiter house in 1996 for it historical value as the museum. The house was built by Emil Bereiter in 1908. Emil was the owner of a lumber mill in the Covington area at the turn of the century. The 15-room home consists of 1940 square feet of floor space on the first floor and 1635 square feet on the second floor with the third floor having two rooms, one had a pool table and the other was used as a card-room with ap-proximately 800 square feet. The basement was only large enough for the hot wa-ter boiler used to heat the house, which has 12 radiators. Today the house is used as an education to the past with exhibits displaying interesting artifacts, documents and photos. The home is furnished with donated period furniture.

The outside includes a 20 by 24-foot Carriage House and Gazebo in the back yard. Stuart Nakamura created the “Another Place, Another Time” an outdoor work of art honoring Kent’s Japanese-American community. The mission of the Greater Kent Historical Society is to collect, preserve and promote the history of the Greater Kent area.

Stop by and view a video in the reading room. Visitors are welcome to browse on their own or they may make an appointment with the staff for assisted research.

Hours: The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment. Admission is by a suggested $2 donation; no tickets are required for entrance to the Museum.

“FUN for ALLand ALL for FUN”

PARADE INFORMATION

Our 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 ROYALTY:

In its 65th 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 involve-ment and esteem.

King Neptune Rex and his Prime Minister represent the SEA-FAIR Festival at key events throughout the year. They symbolize the dignity of the community and serve as greeters and promo-tional 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.

SEAFAIR PARADE MARSHALS

We also would like to extend our thanks to the SEAFAIR Parade Marshals for their nearly 41 years of support in helping us orga-nize and stage our Kent Cornucopia Days Grand Parade.

OTHER DIGNITARIES AT PARADE:

• Miss Cornucopia 2013 and court• Kent Old Timer’s King & Queen Royalty for the Day• Mayor Suzette Cooke• Members of the Kent City Council• Kent School District Teacher of the Year – Travis Geving• Kent Senior of the Year • Numerous local, state & national elected representatives

WORDEN who serves as the Kent Senior Activity Center Front Desk Volunteer two mornings a week.

LARGER THAN EVER!

KENT CORNUCOPIA DAYS DRAGON BOAT RACES ON LAKE MERIDIAN

Saturday the 13th, forty plus teams will come to Kent to race for medals. The races begin at 9 a.m. and fi nals are after 3 p.m. 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 larg-est Dragon Boat Race in the State of Washington and part of the Northwest Circuit Challenge. 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 benefi ts the Northwest Lions Foun-dation for Sight and Hearing.

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

SHORT BACKGROUND ON DRAGON BOAT RACING

Dragon boat racing is people friendly, and takes into team’s people 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 fi nish line fi rst. 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 for the fi rst time to participate in a Dragon Boat Festival in 2011 and sent another team in 2012. Prac-tices take place Saturday mornings at 7:45 a.m. at the boat launch. Come join the fun!

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 “Festival” to celebrate that 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 Lettuce 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 primarily 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 Depres-sion” (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 start-ing in 1946 and was known as the “Cornu-copia Festival” to represent the now newly diversifi ed 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 unknown 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 fi rst fes-tival held in 1972), the Kent Lions and other community organizations (all now non-exis-

tent 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 chair-man of the festival. The Kent Lions worked closely with the Kent Federated Women’s Club (no longer in existence), 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 association 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 “Cornu-copia Festival”, with a permanent theme of “The Festival of the Valley”. In 1981, we have the fi rst appearance of “Kent Cornu-copia 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”.

The current Kent Cornucopia Days logo is a stylized version of the original logo produced by Kent Lion John Solis in 1987. The original represented the “Kent Valley” between the west & east hills with the Sun shinning above. The standard Cornuco-pia basket was also incorporated in this artwork. The newer logo is a similar way of representing that “Valley” & “Hills” with the “Sun”, which was started by the Metro Ad-vertising agency on one of our advertising campaigns and fi nalized in its fi nal version by Kent Lion Bill Westcott.
