Kingston Picnic 2023 seeks Volunteers

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Village of Kingston has celebrated with a community gathering at the end of the summer.

It is a chance for folks in our community organizations to show off, and for neighbor to meet neighbor. We usually have some music, and maybe some games.

The Kingston Historical Society and the Kingston Village Advisory Committee are looking for other organizations and individuals who are willing to help make the Kingston picnic an annual event open to the entire community.

So far we are looking for volunteers… by mid-summer we hope to have a general invite for everyone in the greater Kingston community.
