Has something memorable or meaningful ever happened to you in Kentville? Do you know someone cool, or unique, or smart, or funny, or amazing, that you think others should know too? 

We want to highlight the People of Kentville, doing what they do, in a new feature of the Kentville Connection E-News!  Send us a photo of you or someone else in Kentville with an accompanying story.  We'll get it into our monthly e-news publication, and share it on our Instagram! 

We want to hear about the wonderful people in our community doing great things big and small. We want to hear about the cool, weird, or funny things you've seen or experienced in k-town.  We want to get right down into the weeds and to really know the "People of Kentville".  

Did you rescue multiple cats out of a tree after a dance class downtown? Is your neighbour an awesome person who grows vegetables for the whole street? Is there a bunny rabbit in your subdivision who rides a skateboard?  We want to see it all!
