Very good suggestions, Dick. I'll be sure to pass them along. As far as the
vendor situation, non-food and beverage vendors are welcome and encouraged.
The town requires a vendor permit, but Lisa assured me that the permit cost
and her fee would total $40. She seems to remember the vendor permit as $20.
But if someone wants to set up a vendor booth, or to order tickets, give
Lisa a call after 4 PM at (401) 647-3838.
Regards,
Dan
PS Mandatory reso content. I hope the stage has some sun protection so my
coverplates don't blind the audience.
