We were honored to be a sponsor for Portsmouth Service League’s annual “Bingo for Handbags” event last Saturday at the Woman’s Club of Portsmouth. At this event, we helped raise money to go directly toward serving the Portsmouth community. The event was a huge success, bringing together different organizations, companies, and fellow friends. The night consisted of several bingo games for a chance to win designer handbags, donated baskets were raffled, and everyone enjoyed food and refreshments. What a luxurious experience! 🪩🎤

It is with great melancholy and heartache that we acknowledge the passing of our beloved leader, founder, and friend, Michael Fitzwater. Mike leaves behind an impressive and exceptional legacy built upon a powerful work ethic, achieved knowledge, unwavering` generosity, and the passion for helping others to celebrate. Mike’s dedication to his craft was the direct influence that built this great company and brought communities and people together.

Mike never ceased to evolve. He served as President of the Manufactures & Tent Rental Association, Director of the American Rental Association, and was a Board Member of the Portsmouth Partnership Organization. He often referred to himself as the “Tent Man.”

While Mike may no longer physically be with us, his legacy will persevere through the future of Special Events and the extensive outreach of his contributions.

You are deeply missed, Rest in Peace, and May your Memory be Eternal.

We thank you all for your support during this difficult time.

We had the pleasure of meeting with industry leaders and professionals. The networking opportunities at the show were endless, and we’re so excited to incorporate new equipment and items into our business!

We’re ready to hit the ground running! Here's to the future of our business and the exciting possibilities ahead! 🙌
