A landmark event in Dallas history, the opening of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, and Classic’s Ducky-Bob’s is there.

Ducky-Bob’s provided the main cocktail and dinner buffet tent, a 40′ x 280′ clear frame tent with sidewalls. Over fifty 500 pound weights were needed for anchoring (no drilling into the new plaza). Originally this was only a “back-up/rain plan,” but days and days of rain had just ended and although the skies cleared, the temperatures dropped and at the last minute, the decision was made to go with tenting.

After a quick site inspection, logistics planning began. The permit was expedited. Tent parts and weights were delivered beginning at midnight requiring a 39-hour turnaround time. Tent installation began Friday at midnight for the Saturday night event. Crews worked right up to event time, and stayed on hand for any potential maintenance needs. After a fast move out of all other items at the end of the evening, take down began and the site was cleared by 9 a.m. Sunday morning in time for street activities and a public concert.

In addition to the tent, rental items included clear acrylic adjustable barstools, glassware, off-premise catering kitchen equipment and more.
