Celebrating in Sandwich
Most celebrations here are small-town and rural: church halls, backyards with plenty of room and farms along the roads out of town. The countryside around town offers scenic photo spots. Because many guests travel from surrounding farm towns, events tend to be family-sized or larger, with long tables and plenty of chairs for generations at the same party.
September's Sandwich Fair draws crowds and affects road access, so plan around it for nearby events.
Heating & cooling here: Venues often have their own fire rules for propane. Electric heaters or forced-air units outside the space may be required.
Barns and farm lots outside town host weddings with gravel drives and uneven ground.
Heating & cooling here: Old barns get cold and drafty in spring and fall. Forced-air tent heaters work better than patio heaters in large spaces.
Small-town halls host showers, receptions and fundraisers with a wide range of guest counts.
Heating & cooling here: Halls are climate controlled, but outdoor smoking or cocktail areas still benefit from one or two heaters.
Large lots make graduation and reunion parties easy to hold at home with tents and long tables.
Heating & cooling here: Propane patio heaters need clearance from tent walls, trees and eaves. Plan one heater per 10 to 12 guests on a cold night.
How to plan
One mushroom patio heater per 15-20 guests, spaced about 10-15 feet apart.
Close the sidewalls and use forced-air heaters, about 1 per 800-1,000 sq ft.
