Boring is proud of its link with Dull, which was the brainchild of Perthshire resident Elizabeth Leighton who passed through Boring on a cycling holiday in 2012.
Dull celebrates the relationship in October, and was first to put up a commemorative road sign.
"Dull has helped put Boring on our map and I suspect maybe in certain ways we've helped put Dull on some other maps too," said Mr Kennemer.
You could say the pairing has made Boring a bit more interesting.
So much so, the town is now developing a new relationship the Australian community of Bland.

(53,339 posts)I was a finalist for for the AFS student abroad exchange rogram, but my girlfrrend beat me out. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough placements and she didn't get to go. But while studying at Occidental College, she did her own trip to Japan.
More power to you my friend, Marie Munger!
