Pine Hills 2011 Arts on the Green Festival

The Pine Hills recently featured the "Arts on the Green" festival, an event that showcased the regions finest painters, sculptors, photographers, weavers, and jewelery designers (and more!). We'd like to thank everyone who worked hard to make the event an overwhelming success. And, we were fortunate enough to have some wonderful aerial photographs taken. Take a look!

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!

Thanksgiving Celebrations!

What are you doing this weekend?  If you're in to festive occasions, patriotic music (including the world-renowned The Tops In Blues (the Air Force's premier entertainment showcase http://www.topsinblue.com/about-us.html), and activities for all family members, then you should probably consider the 15th annual Thanksgiving celebration, held at the birthplace of Thanksgiving, Plymouth!  Here's a link to their website for full details: http://www.usathanksgiving.com.  If you're worried about the weather getting in the way, have no fear!  B.C.

See you all there!

B.C. Tent at the MATRA Games

This past weekend, B.C. Tent attended a conference called MATRA (Mid-Atlantic tent renta association) in Rhode Island. This weekend-long festivity-filled event features manufacturers' newest products, seminars and vendor shows, and of course, the MATRA games.  The games feature competitions in various tenting activities, such as stake pounding, stake throwing, tent lacing, and more.  Now this might sound pretty uneventful, but this is something we look forward to every year!  We're also very proud of our Crew Chief, Mark, and Rodrigo who together came in 2nd place in the 2-man stake driving contest.  Their time was 9 seconds.

MATRA wasn't all games for us.  We attended seminars on customer service, tent flooring, upscale lighting and décor, and even a workshop on automated inventory management.  So, congratulations to Mark and Rodrigo, and we're excited about the new things we learned and can't wait for next year's MATRA!
