Do what they did, see a bin, take a bin. When they notice their bin’s gone, they’ll take one and so on…

Where are you arounf that you give out full size bars?! Me and my kids are coming by!

What the fuck is GRAW?

They probably have a recycling addiction, big problem right now.

For real though, when you get your new one I would recommend spray painting or paint pen* marking your address/number onto it.

Go down to the dpw and get one. They are an overly nice and bubbly group of people for their job. I love that place

Maybe call the dpw but I could be wrong. Some people......

Zukas is awesome!

Okay then. I stand corrected.

Except for the part about the Schaefers being extremists.

Roberta Schaefer hasn't been on the board in 8+ years....if you look at the board of directors and staff there is no one with the name Schaeffer. I know probably half of the board. I mean come on Allen Fletcher, Tim Garvin, Tim Murray, and Deb Packard are on the board....real right wing extremists there

You don't think the Shaeffers aren't extremists?

Tuckerman Hall and Worcester Art Museum have been two of my favorites.

J Anthony’s in Auburn. The Venue is FREE. You only pay for food/tips. Just got married in July there. Extremely happy with how it came out! Under $3K for 100 guests.

It’s better to drive to newton Wellesley

Old stone church in west boylston. It’s free.

I've used The Castle in Leicester as a venue, and it was great. That said, they've changed hands and are now https://m.facebook.com/castlecastina/

The previous owners didn't charge a venue fee to use one big room plus the patio, just the cost of food/drinks (admittedly not cheap). No idea what pricing under the new owners looks like, but if they are inviting under 100 people the place itself is wicked awesome.

I cannot think of a better way to run into a real-life group of slasher movie villains than this

Jelly's next door has better music. People know nothing around here.

A building that is owned by WG but no longer in use was on fire

City Hall and save your money.

Millbury

I had someone total my vehicle, while driving their girlfriends vehicle drunk. Also wrecked a third car. The girl ran off into the woods at like 3AM when she got confronted about it.

She had a laundry list of criminal charges. Absolutely nothing happened to her.

Worcester doesn't give a fuck about drunk drivers.

Hartman’s Herb Farm did everything A to Z for 100 people within a great budget, including night before and night of accommodations. The ladies who run it are excellent to work with to create whatever vision you may have.

They said affordable.

Arrowhead Acres in Uxbridge.

They have a really big venue hall and an outdoor chapel if the weather is nice. The banquet hall holds something like 150-200 people. The thing we really liked about them was that they didn't care about the vendors - we could use whomever we wanted.

Our major vendors were:

• Arrowhead Acres (venue/ceremony)
• Arrowhead Acres liquor partner (can't remember who, but they're the only option)
• Ramu and the Crew (DJ - recommended to us by the venue. He was really awesome)
• All Fired Up BBQ and Clambakes (amazing food)
• Diane Rockwell made the wedding cake. We went to all the most popular bakeries around Worcester and she blew them all away. This was the cake she made us. Each tier was a different flavor, no extra cost for it. Those are sugar flowers. edit: It looks smaller in that picture than it actually was - it fed all of our guests and we took the top layer home.

Our photographer was someone my wife knew through a BNI group, I don't know who they were, but they also gave us a courtesy discount. Anyway, all in on everything from the dress and rings to the reception we spent about 15k. We could have spent closer to 13k, maybe less, but we had a lavish food spread.

The one thing I would say with Arrowhead Acres is to just make sure you're on top of the venue agreement. You have to pull permits for food on your own, which isn't hard but it's extra leg work (they gave us all the instructions we needed to do it). The owners don't fuck around and expect you to read and actually follow through on the agreement. They're an older, very no-nonsense couple but they were helpful. Just read your agreement thoroughly and make sure you give yourself time.

edit: Oh, also, if you're looking for rings, we went to Garabedians up on Burncoat. The old man there hammered out a custom wedding band for my wife out of a continuum silver ingot for like 100 bucks because the engagement ring we got had a unique shape and we needed something specific to fit it.
