Main Street Kent Presents “Putt Around Downtown” Progressive Event

Posted Nov. 2, 2015

On Saturday, Nov. 7, downtown Kent will be transformed into a miniature golf course for the “Putt Around Downtown” event. Main Street Kent is hosting this unique, family-friendly progressive event where each participating business will create a custom miniature golf hole to challenge participants. The event will run from 1-4 p.m., with an awards presentation and drinks to follow at the “Nineteenth Hole” – the Venice Café.

The fun will begin at the Destination Kent Visitor Centre (located at 201 E. Erie St.) where participants will receive a commemorative golf ball, score card and course map – then the tournament will start. Each group will be sent off to their starting hole (like a shotgun tournament), then after completing all 18 holes, meet back up with all of the other golfers at the “Nineteenth Hole” for a celebratory drink and awards celebration with lots of prizes. Putters will be provided at each participating “hole”/business. Prizes will be awarded for the most creatively dressed group, lowest score, highest score and more. All participants will be entered in a raffle to win rounds of golf, club head covers, golf balls, umbrellas and other great prizes.

The 18 “holes” include Belleria Pizza & Italian Restaurant, blue / A Goodwill Boutique, Carnaby Street Style, Destination Kent Visitor Centre, FJKluth Art Gallery, Hall-Green Agency, Kent Central Gateway Footwear, Kent Cheesemonger, Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center, McKay Bricker Framing & Gifts, One Love Yoga & Boutique, Popped!, Rise & Shine Café, Scribbles Coffee, Secret Cellar, the Local Public House, UniversiTees, Wild Earth Outfitters – and the Venice Café will be the “Nineteenth Hole.” It is sure to be a fun adventure all around downtown Kent. So grab the kids or a group of friends and hit the links in downtown Kent! Stick around afterwards for dinner at Taco Tonto’s inside the Venice Café, too.

Tickets are $15 per golfer or $50 per foursome. All golfers will receive one raffle ticket to enter in the prize drawings, and additional raffle tickets will be awarded for hole-in-one shots earned along the way. It is sure to be a great time for all! Prize sponsors include Windmill Lakes Golf Course, Kent State University Golf Course, Stow-Kent Family Entertainment, and Oak Knolls Golf Club. Event sponsors include Hall-Green Agency, Terry Ginn Advertising and PC Surgeons.

One hundred tickets are available, and can be purchased on the Main Street Kent website at www.mainstreetkent.org/putt-around-downtown. Tickets are nonrefundable and this is an all-weather event.
