Commonwealth University-Lock Haven's Department of Exceptionality Programs and Council for Exceptional Children student group will host the 19th annual Kent's Fest celebration on Friday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the East Campus Gymnasium.
The theme for this year's celebration is "Road Trip USA." Classrooms and organizations will create unique performances to personally selected music aligned with the theme.
The event, which has not been held since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, provides a musical talent show for children and adults with disabilities from Clinton, Centre and Lycoming counties. In 2019, more than 450 participants were involved, with more than 500 community members in attendance.
The event is free and open to the public. The event sponsors include the Clinton County Community Foundation, who awarded the event with a $5,000 grant, and the Son's of Italy of Lock Haven, who donated $525. More sponsorship opportunities are available for this year's event.
