FALL FESTIVAL 2015
Party time
Tent in back lot will again benefit veterans’ group
It's been more than a decade since
Frank Agostini and Tony Belli put up
the first huge white tent in the parking
lot behind E. G. Nick's restaurant dur-
ing thePlymouthFall Festival.
They've been doing it ever since
because everybody involvedhas a good
time.
“We have a great time and so does
the crowd,” Agostini said. “This is a
way to help out several charities and
have fun at the same time. What could
be better?”
This year, VonZipperswill entertain
the crowd in the party tent from 8 p.m.
until midnight on Friday, Sept. 11 and
Big Ray and the Motor City Kings will
play beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept.
12.
E.G. Nick's provides beer and wine
sales in the tent during the evening
bandperformances.
“We've had Big Ray in here before
and they were here last year for the
festival. The crowds love them,”
Agostini said. “These are both really
goodbands.”
This year, as in the past, there will
be a $3 cover charge at the party tent
which will go to the Plymouth-Canton
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter
528. Members of the veterans' organiza-
tion will be collecting the cover charge
at the door and issuing wrist bands for
admittance to the tent for those 21 and
older.
“These vets deserve all the help we
can offer,” Agostini said. “We're happy
to do it.”
The tent will also host the A.M.
Rotary Club Spaghetti Dinner from 4-7
p.m. Friday and Praise Baptist Church
will use the tent for a morning worship
serviceSundaymorning.
This year, moving the car show to
Forest Street may bring some new
faces into the party tent, Agostini, who
is also the vice-president of the Fall
Festival Committee, said.
“The Fall Festival is a good time for
everybody and with the tent, we can
help some of the groups like the vets
and theRotaryClub.
This is just a big party and every-
body is invited,” he said. We've never
had any problems, just a big group of
local folks having a really good time.”
E.G. Nick's is located at 500 Forest
St. For more information, contact
