Kent Precision Foods Group donated more than 1,400 bottles of Sqwincher, six five-gallon coolers and four cases of liquid concentrate. The Sqwincher formulation is the result of research and development that goes well beyond quenching thirst to deliver rehydration for the toughest of activities. The donation to the Muscatine High School Football program equates to about $3,000 of product.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (June 24, 2019) — Employees of Kent Corporation, an Iowa-based company, volunteered their time and efforts on Friday, June 21 to help clean up the Mississippi Riverfront in Muscatine, after more than three months of flooding.

“Muscatine is our home. We have been here for decades and are committed to being good stewards of the community, especially in its time of need,” said Carol Reynolds, Corporate Spokesperson for Kent Corporation. “We are proud to help our community recover and rebuild in this way.”

MUSCATINE, Iowa (June 14, 2019) — Local and state officials gathered with City of Muscatine staff, members of the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the general public to officially open the expansion of the South Houser Street athletic facilities on Wednesday, June 5.

Joining a growing list of recreational amenities on the South Houser Street corridor is the Houser Street Athletic Field Expansion that includes four multi-use athletic fields and a 200-car parking lot. The site is located just west of the Muscatine Soccer Complex and close to Kent Stein Park, the Muscatine Pollinator Park, and the Muscatine Dog Park. Four recreational trails also merge at this location.

Featured speaker for the event was Gage Kent, chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Kent Corporation, who called the Houser Street Athletic Field Expansion the culmination of a 56 year story. 

“In 1963 this was just a great big farm,” Kent said. “There were a bunch of city leaders and people within the city that said you know this town needs a ballpark. So, in 1963 the Kent Stein Foundation, now the Kent Corporation Charitable Foundation, contributed 55 acres for the ball parks across the way (Kent Stein Park).”
