2025 Year in Review: Bob Costa, B.C. Tent & Awning Co., Inc.

What accomplishment or milestone stood out for you or your firm in 2025? 2025 marked the 24^th year B.C. Tent & Awning has been honored to work with America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration (AHTC) Executive Board to prepare Plymouth for a weekend of festivities, with the AHTC Parade as the marquee  event. This nationally-ranked celebration has grown considerably over the years, with Boston’s WCVB-TV now an annual fixture at the event, airing it live and again on Thanksgiving morning. And since weather in New England in November can be unpredictable at best, we’re proud to provide tented cover over the seating gallery as well as other shelters for weekend events.

As you look ahead to 2026, which emerging trends or shifts will shape opportunities for you, your firm, or your market sector? Organizations want to do what they can to foster community and camaraderie, and they’re doing that in part by organizing gatherings to celebrate milestones. They want these events to represent the level of excellence they have worked so hard to be known for, and they find that same overall distinction in the products and services we provide, which we use to create warm and lovely environments that positively reflect the overall event. With the higher profile events expected in 2026 (World Cup, 250^th anniversary of the country and Tall Ships), conveying the right atmosphere will be paramount.
