Dave Ruller:
It's always big news in the sports world when your favorite team re-signs its star player and frankly that's sort of how I felt earlier this month when the City Council extended our agreement with Main Street Kent for another 2 years. Certainly there are pro's and con's to loaning an employee off of City staff to serve as the Executive Director of Main Street, and I'll be the first to say that it's been a sacrifice to loan Mary Gilbert to Main Street, but if you step back and look at the before and after in our downtown it's hard to argue that the sacrifice hasn't been worth it.

Kent Halloween Tonight!
Arguably the best Halloween Fest in all of Ohio, and ranking up there nationwide, downtown Kent will be packed tonight with crazy costumes and intoxicated individuals. Everything from beer pong tables, to kissing booths, gyno exams, breast exams, biblical characters, the normal lil bo peep, cowboys, indians, athletes, cheertleaders, and more. You will be impressed by the creativity, I am every year.
Some come on down, come early, go out to dinner at the Pufferbelly or Rays and watch the festivities begin and the costumes wander in front of the window seats. Then get out and into the bars by about 9pm if you would like to be warm and comfortable, and avoid Ohio's freezing and potentially rainy weather.
Spend an hour amidst the crazies, watching the costumes, then head back to your local parties to re-gain body heat (your choice of how to get warm again). Then head back downtown to see more costumes, and act wild and crazy.
Just be careful, avoid the officers (the real ones look like costumes too), and have a great time. But remember, don't drink and drive.
