There’s a long list of ingredients that goes into creating a community. Typically, that list includes shared values and interests, but it also requires a lot of thoughtful planning and importantly – great event programming. An added benefit beyond the entertainment value that comes with most events is the opportunity for people to connect and come together.

In January, we asked about the kinds of community events you think you might want to see at KS and there was a lot of participation, including some good suggestions for what we ought to consider. Check out the results below.

Apparently, there wasn’t a whole lot of interest in our totally made up green worm festival (aka Archips semiferanus, ‘oak leaf rollers’) but there was a lot of energy around live music, food trucks, and craft fairs.

Those of you writing in your own responses were big on family-focused events like Halloween costume contests, Easter egg hunts, and other ideas that oriented around the holidays. Other choices included an outdoor theater and symphony events.

As always, our surveys are totally reliant on your participation so thanks for contributing! In the meantime, keep a lookout for our next survey.
