Just like everybody in Kingston, we try to fit in everything we do outdoors when the weather is nice — and boy, it has been nice.
Well, another Fourth of July in Kingston is under our belt, and the wonderful weather helped make this celebration of the country’s birthday even better than usual.
As July 4 quickly approaches, our Kiwanis club is busy helping Kingston have another successful 4th of July celebration.
One of our most popular projects is to award our outstanding students in North Kitsap a scholarship to reward them for their good work — not just as students, but as helpers in their community.
Spring is here and before you know it, school kids will be out on their summer vacation.
The fifth Valentine’s Day Gala in support of the North Kitsap Boys and Girls Club was a huge success, once again due to the generosity of the Kingston community and other folks from around the Puget Sound area and the hard work of all the volunteers that helped Judy and Dick Osborn pull it off again.
