KENTON T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST

Calling all artists and designers! The KNA is having a contest for a new Kenton t-shirt design. The design must incorporate the idea of our future Kenton Community Garden. Contest winner will receive a Kenton Business Package. To submit your designs, please email Michelle Charbonneau at TalkKenton@gmail.com for digital file requirements. Designs must be submitted no later than 5pm on Tuesday, December 7th.

The t-shirts will help promote and fund raise for our new community garden project that is in the works.  Here is a link to the Portland Parks and Rec Community Gardens website:  http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/index.cfm?c=39846

We still don’t have a site nailed down, but we’re working on a plot in the back school yard at Peninsular School.  We’re feeling pretty good about the location and the potential for collaboration with the school community.  The garden will have about 20 plots, a tool shed, water, fenced, possibly a fruit orchard.  There might be a covered bulletin board and an ecoroof on the tool shed.  Perhaps the space will include a meeting space for classes and events.  And art integrated into the garden in some way.  Once the site is finally determined we will begin fund raising and going out to the community for input on what folks would like to have in the garden. – Marina Wynton
