Sentie’s Kitchen food truck will offer Afro BBQ fusion with homemade food inspired by recipes from Africa and East Africa. ABA members attend free; non-members, $10.
Other summer events include a concert in July at Stone Park, where ABA members will be invited for $25 to set up booths to display products or provide activities for kids, and a members-only BBQ at the YMCA Outdoors Center in Hopkinton on August 3 with other local area business associations and chambers of commerce. Food will be provided, including ice cream from the Refreshin’ Concessions ice cream truck, sponsored by Paul Netopski, Critical Prism Defense LLC.
