The crew at Revitalize Kenton: a community partnership is back out at Hillcrest Lanes, and the transformation is already looking incredible—but there are still plenty of numbered sections waiting for paint! 🖌️✨

Here are the ground rules for round two:
1️⃣ No art degree required — if you can match a color to a number, you're officially qualified!
2️⃣ Rule #1: Stay inside the lines! (Yes, we're double-checking 😉)
3️⃣ Rule #2: Wear a shirt you don't mind getting a little colorful.

It truly takes a village to bring a canvas this big to life. Whether you can lend a hand for 20 minutes or 2 hours, grab a brush, say hi to your neighbors, and help us make Kenton shine!

Who’s coming out to help today? Drop a 🎨 in the comments or tag your favorite painting partner! See you at Hillcrest Lanes! 🙌
