Teacher Retirement Party

Last year, we had the pleasure meeting Noel to plan a surprise retirment party for her friend Joann this past saturday June 29, 2019. It was such a beautiful hot with a slight thunderstorm summery kind of day. It was the party of the year, a Band, kegs at the bar, bar-be-qued food served in the tent. 175 people celebrating not only Joanns Retirement but 3 more teachers who retired. We absolutely love teachers.

Kegs and the wine were from Christy’s Liquors in Coventry RI. Alot and we mean alot of people think they know how to tap a keg, but this is really how you do it. Keg coolers with cold plates inside and a CO2 tank keeping the beer flowing. Also, you need to use 55 gallon garbage bins for each keg and lots of ice. The colder the beer, the less foam will coming out. Using a pump will only give you more foam than beer.

Speaking of the Band, According Image Band Website:

   is a 6 piece band featuring dynamic vocalists Amanda Verduchi and Dan Pepin accompanied by 4 seasoned musicians.
