This page is for any activities happening in Kensett, just a quick glance to keep everyone updated. If you have anything you would like to announce or post, please email me with the information.

​
Please help! If you have any activities that I can add to the website please email me about Kensett Happenings. We no longer have a Kensett Courier, which was were I got the calendar and community activities for the calendar. You can reach me at [email protected] or call 641-390-0349 and leave a message.

For reference, I will be adding information for Northwood-Kensett Community School Activities.  Also I will be adding information for Grace Lutheran Church in Hanlontown, IA and Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Manly, IA. These, along with Bethany Lutheran Church and Elk Creek Lutheran Church belong to the same group. I know that our members also like to visit various functions at our sister churches.
​Hope this helps to know what is going on in our area.
