Fall Fair at Derby Academy

On October 15th Derby Academy in Hingham hosted their Annual County Fair. Luckily, Mother Nature acted in everyone's favor and the weather was beautiful for the event. Co chairs Franny Andahazy, Bev Koswick, and Kathleen Regan did a wonderful job organizing this day of fun had by students, staff members, their families, friends, and members of the community.

 
Much like past years, B.C. Tent had the pleasure of providing more than 10 tents at this event! There were some great new additions to the annual attractions this year. There were new amusement rides which were a HUGE hit with the kids! The students loved the live animals that they were able to pet, hold, and even ride!

Who doesn't love the teacups?!

 Multiple people from the school and community helped make this day possible. A few guys from Sea Dawg Brew Pub of Hull were there grilling up delicious food for all. Some of the past favorites such as the bake table, flower stand and used books were back this year as well! As always, there was facepainting, games, inflatables and even a 70ft rapid slide!  DJ Cubey Entertainment was there blasting the tunes to  keep everyone in party mode and having a great time. 

Check out the AWESOME DJ booth that was made for DJ Cubey!

A special thanks goes out to Lindsay Jagodowski for taking the beautiful photos of this event that showcase our tents! Lindsay even climbed up to the top of Hersey Gym to get all of the tents in one shot!

 If you missed this fabulous event, shame on you!, but there is always next year!!

A Very B.C. Wedding

Recently here at B.C. Tent we had a wedding that was very special for all of us. Andrew, stepson of owner Bob Costa (and former tent installer!) and his fiance Jennifer (current BC office employee!) were married and had a beautiful tented reception at the Pierce House in Lincoln, MA. The preparations for the wedding went very well...but then Irene decided to try and ruin our fun! Despite the storm, the installers were able to get the tent up and the wedding was a HUGE success...not to mention needing umbrellas made for some adorable photos by Julie Surette Photography!! Check them out!

And how could we throw a B.C. wedding without all of the extras? Jennifer and Andrew's tent displayed our gorgeous tent liner which we accented with our LED pars. We also had a custom gobo provided by Advanced Lighting Production Services (ALPS) of Randolph.

Here is the Monogram Gobo... gobos can be made featuring custom images or words!

We would like to send a special thank you to all of the vendors who made this wedding a huge success. *The staff at the Pierce House was wonderful to work with*

*Silent Chef catered the event and provided DELICIOUS food and cocktails all night*

*Julie Surette used the rain to her advantage to create beautiful photos*

*Chad Codon from Boppers DJ had everyone up on the dance floor*

*Designing images provided beautiful flowers*



We would especially like to thank Chad Codon for the stories about the Bahamas and for showcasing Bob's John Travolta impression during the reception!

30th Celebration

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got around to throwing a birthday party... for ourselves.  Throughout the past year, we had been half-heartedly "celebrating" being in business for over 30 years.  But two months into 2011, we decided to take a break from operations, gather our staff, partners, supporters and family, and throw a little party.  And what better way to do it than in a luxurious heated tent.  Check out the pictures below. 

Not the Oscars, not the Grammys... it's B.C. Tent!

Winter Update

It's nearly half-way through the first month of 2011, and New England is already bracing for the year's first major snowstorm. Over at B.C. Tent, we're going through a typical winter season.  Tent rentals are low, although they're very doable since we can fully heat a tent.   Mostly, we're going through inventory and deciding what new products we want to add to our line-up for the upcoming seasons.

Below is a tent we set up for a Super Bowl party all the way back in 2005, when the Patriots played and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21.  It's a 30x45 navi-track frame tent with propane-fueled heaters, as seen on the right side of the second picture.  We're committed to making tented events possible, even in the snow!
