Welcome our Newest Blogger: Maureen Drinkard

Today we get to welcome another new blogger to the Kent Patch family: Maureen Drinkard.

A lecturer at , Drinkard opened — — in downtown Kent this summer with partner Eddie Donley.

If you read our interview with her about opening the store, , I think it's fair to say she's an enlightened free spirit. And that's why she came to Kent from North Carolina — for the kindred spirits!

Drinkard brings the active blogging tally on Kent Patch up to nine. That's right, nine of your fellow readers and neighbors are writing about their community and sharing their thoughts. And there are even more Kent folks in the process or pipeline who have yet to write their first blog. 

Nationally, more than 10,000 small-town America residents are blogging for Patch. You can do the same by clicking here to apply and become a blogger.

So join me in welcoming another Kent resident to the Kent Patch blog family, and give Maureen the best welcome of all — by reading her first blog!
