Sponsor of Kent “Summer Splash”

The Kent Lions has been a sponsor of the annual Kent Summer Splash since its founding.  We loan our Kent Cornucopia Days stage, tents, & garbage cans.   We set up the stage for the city.  During our first few years we provides a "inner tube" obstacle course for the kids.  Starting in 2002, we now bring our wooden ceremonial "Dragon Boat" and provide demonstration rides and training.  We also provide financial support for the annual Lake Meridian 4th of July fireworks show.
