Kingfield PorchFest: A Single Night of Music, Performed on Various Stages throughout the Neighborhood

By

For anyone new to the neighborhood or has been asleep the past nine years and is wondering, “What the heck is PorchFest?” PorchFest is an evening of community all wrapped up in the sounds of summer. On this single summer evening, Kingfield musicians will perform acoustic music outdoors at their respective homes, or at neighbor’s porch or yard, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds. This event regularly features over 50 musical performances dozens of Kingfield stages.

As usual, PorchFest relies on the good will and donated time of musicians, amateur and professional, and host-porches. If you are willing to perform music, provide a porch, or both, register at https://bit.ly/Porchfest2023. Registering is vital to being part of Kingfield PorchFest as it helps us pair musicians with porches, make sure the music from each group does not overlap, and promote the event. Preferred registration is May 1st. Registering is NOT a confirmation of participating.

Based upon feedback from hosts, musicians, and participants last year, we are 1) looking for a variety of musical genres; 2) limiting the number of sites; and 3) looking for volunteers to help with planning and to volunteer during the event itself. We will have two or three planning meetings in May and the June 15th event. Please contact KFNA at if you want to be part of the PorchFest Planning Team.

KFNA Welcomes Five New Board Members!

By

April 26th, KFNA held its annual meeting with a celebration at the neighborhood Pizza Oven.  The annual event is an opportunity for neighbors, board members and KFNA staff to come together and celebrate of the all the work KFNA accomplished in the past year.  Despite the threat of rain and cold, the weather cooperated and about 100 neighbors and community leaders showed up to eat fresh cooked pizza, talk about the past year and share ideas for the future.

During the event annual elections were also held.  Please congratulate Lesa Hudak, David Robbins, Elena Bretzman, Sarah Tschida, and Mike Skinner as new KFNA board members.  

There are still three open seats on the KFNA Board.  KFNA is committed to the principle of equity and is particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of individuals. KFNA is seeking specific populations to fill these remaining seats including Renters, POCI,  LGBTQ+, Youth, or Seniors to balance representation on the board.

If you have any questions or are potentially interested in serving please contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at . We invite all interested neighbors can attend the June Board meeting on 6/12/19 at 7 PM, MLK Park.
