Put together a team of three and join us on Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 6:00 PM for the first annual Gibbet Hill Cattle Run & BBQ! This unique relay race will challenge runners of all abilities while raising money for food pantries across Massachusetts.

We have mapped out a rugged and hilly 1.4 mile course which weaves through Gibbet Hill Farm. Your run will take you past our produce farm, through the black angus cattle herd and up to General Bancroft’s “castle” on top of Gibbet Hill. The race will consist of 6 loops for a total of 8.4 miles. Each runner will run the course twice in the following order: 1-2-3-1-2-3. In some areas of the course, you’ll be running on the actual cow path worn in the hill by Gibbet Hill’s famous Black Angus herd! You might want to leave your fancy new running shoes at home.

BARBECUE

Think you’ll work up an appetite? Directly after the race, chefs from each Webber Restaurant Group property will collaborate to create a barbecue that will be sure to satisfy your hunger. Also our friends from Narragansett will be on hand serving some of their new seasonal brews along with the classic Lager. Hi Neighbor!

BENEFICIARIES

Entry fee is $225 per team ($75 per runner), which includes the race, barbecue and a frosty Narragansett. THE ENTIRE ENTRY FEE will go directly to four food pantries in Massachusetts:

• Second Parish, Hingham

• Loaves & Fishes, Devens

• Acord Food Pantry, Hamilton

In addition to the entry fee, we are asking each runner to contribute to our food drive. We will be back in touch as we get closer to race day with a list of items of need from each of our food pantry partners.

Signature Drinks at Your Wedding

February 26, 2016

One of the fun aspects of planning your wedding reception is deciding on the beverages. There are lots of options available and many couples like to add a personal touch by offering a signature drink or cocktail.

These libations can be a nod to your heritage, reflect your hobbies, an homage to your relationship, or simply flavors you enjoy!

Whether it’s a cocktail or a mocktail, your signature drinks will be one more detail your guests will be talking about for years to come!

Flower Girls and Ring Bearers

February 12, 2016

What do flower girls and ring bearers have in common? They are young people in your life that you love and selected to be in your bridal party.

Choosing these special young attendants can bring a little apprehension given the unpredictable behavior in this age set, but don’t let that stop you! Our team will be there to help the young ones make their way down the aisle, but read on to see what advice they have for you when it comes to working with flower girls and ring bearers.

If you have particularly young attendants, Amy Hudon, Director of Sales and Events for The Estate at Moraine Farm, suggests that the flower girls or ring bearers do not practice in the ceremony rehearsal. “They always do great at the rehearsal but then the next day, there is suddenly more than a hundred people staring at them and they get nervous…”

“Flower girls and ring bearers should attend the rehearsal, so they are familiar with the space…but just wait until the actual ceremony for them to walk down the aisle, and they will be none the wiser.”

Tim Holmes, Director of Sales and Events at The Bradley Estate and Fruitlands Museum, reminds us, “Rehearsed or not, it won’t go perfectly…keep it light and go with the flow.”

Maura McCarthy, Director of Sales and Events at The Crane Estate, says, “It helps to have more than one flower girl or ring bearer, or even a junior bridesmaid there to help out. There is strength in numbers!”

And perhaps Jessica Belanger, Director of Sales and Events for Fireside Catering, sums it up perfectly, “You have to let the kids just be kids, and no matter what they do it’s going to be adorable!”
