News for 12/4/19 SANTA Was HERE!
Old Fashioned Christmas
The Kensington Commercial/Community Club hosted a soup supper with Santa as the main guest for an Old Fashioned Christmas on Sunday evening, December 1st. Over 140 people were in attendance for various soups provided by the Kensington American Legion, entertainment provided by the St. John Lutheran Church Bell Choir, and lighting ceremony in the mini park on main street. Many cheerful children greeted Santa with their Christmas wishlists. It was a fun evening full of holiday cheer that will hopefully be the first of many. Don’t forget about the Christmas Lighting Contest and scavenger hunt to participate in this month.
