Kent Station and Road Runner Sports hosted an end-of-summer event for families on Aug. 20.

The third annual SOAKS – Summer’s (Almost) Over At Kent Station – event featured a street fair and an Adventure Run, which Road Runner Sports organizes on the third Thursday of every month, from April through October.

Ramsay Way was shut down to make room for activity booths and demonstrations. Participants received raffle tickets for every activity.

New Kent School District Superintendent Calvin Watts spoke to the crowd.

Attendees brought schools supplies and cash donations to help Communities In Schools of Kent fill a bus, culminating its summer-long drive.
