KENT–Invitations are in the mail, according to the committee planning this year’s Kent Volunteer Fire Department Ball, planned for Saturday, June 8.
The popular event will be held at the firehouse at 28 Maple St., with drinks and hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. and dinner starting at 7 p.m. The theme of the ball, “At A Moment’s Notice,” reflects the dedication of the first responders.
The menu is appetizers: shrimp cocktail, charcuterie board and more; entrees: roast beef with aus jus or horseradish sauce, grilled baked potatoes, sauteed brussel sprouts or chicken croquettes (minced chicken, celery and onion in a bechamel sauce shaped and deep fried), buttered noodles, and vegetable medley of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots with garlic herb butter, or ginormous pasta shells stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese covered with a marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Dessert will be a ice cream sundae bar.
