January 2010 |  A New Year, a New Decade, a New Website, four new Board Members – and thanks to the ongoing efforts of our membership - we continue our work to position Kent as one of the primary tourism & business destinations in Northwestern Connecticut. We hope to see all of you at the Annual Cocktail Party to be held on Thursday, February 25, 2010 from 6 to 8 PM at Kent Kitchen Works | 860.927.4855 | 6 Kent Green Blvd.

Kent is truly a Winter Wonderland destination! In 1947, Skiing Hall of Fame member, Walt Schoenknecht, created the Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in nearby Cornwall, Connecticut amidst the beauty of the Southern Berkshire Mountain. The following winter he invented snowmaking, which is currently used at winter resorts throughout the world. Mohawk Mountain has remained a family business and a favorite destination for succeeding generations of families. Many local Inns offer Special Ski Stays...just go to Lodging and browse through the Inn Pages.

My Wonderful Wedding...I never expected the loveliness of it all. As a child, I had often daydreamed about my wedding day. When it was actually my turn, it was better than I had ever imagined. Everything came together so smoothly, making for a very special home town wedding celebration.
