KENT, Conn.—The Kent Volunteer Fire Department is inviting townspeople to come out and have a ball on Saturday, June 13, when the department holds its annual Firemen’s Ball at the firehouse, 28 Maple Street.
Committee Chair Laura Day said this year’s theme is “Let’s Have a Ball,” and will feature “mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres, a scrumptious dinner menu, live music with the award-winning band, Those Guys, the Grand March and more.”
She said it takes a great deal of training and organization to provide fire and emergency medical services to the community, and that the firefighters are ready to celebrate these efforts with the community.
During the evening the firefighters will give a nod to this year 250th celebration of the nation’s birth with a Heritage Buffet Dinner featuring “Revolutionary Roast Beef.”
The doors open at 6 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres, followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $65 per person in advance, $75 at the door. Invitations will soon be appearing in local mailboxes.
Reservations are strongly encouraged with payment in advance. Visit www.kentfire.org to pay online for individual seats or a table of 10. Online ticket sales start on April 10.
