I spoke to some residents who when I said are you going to Steamfest? replied “no, I’ve been once…” but I reckon it’s a great YEARLY event, and a joy to see – something new every year, and it’s always great to see yester-year in full force, with a wonderful hardworking volunteer committee bringing this awesome event together year after year.

So I say make an annual support of the Steamfest, make it a tradition… I do.

AND – think of all the exposure it brings to Kentish, a win-win situation for sure.
