We began with a BBQ dinner, courtesy of Peter Palma and Bob Degennaro, who purchased the burgers and dogs, and rented and manned the grille. After dinner, Dave Flannery, who is quite the raconteur, told stories from his youth growing up on a farm in Ireland. The boys were rivited, and asked questions about farm life and about his adventures arriving in the U.S. without a home or a job. Dave shared how it was only later in life after building a business and having a son of his own, that he appreciated all his father had taught him. Some of the other men shared their appreciation for their fathers and their desire to provide the best possible opportunities for their sons.
Barn Night Details
Barn Nights take place monthly, always on a Friday. The barn is located behind the house at 41 Deerfield. The doors open at 8pm, so feel free to come by, grab a beer and a slice of pizza, and socialize. The presentations start at 9pm and go for about an hour. Afterwards you can hang out and jam with or listen to the Barn Band. For the die hards there’s usually a “wrap up” at around midnight where we share our thoughts on the presentation and get into deep, controversial discussions. There’s a contribution box for you to drop in a minimum of $20 to help offset the cost of the event.
