First the participants enjoy a fine dinner in any of the excellent Boston restaurants. Then they make their way over to the three great bocce courts on Commercial St. We give them a little primer on bocce and explain how the bocce event will play out.

We supply a highly trained crew of Joy of Bocce officials.

Let the games begin!

The child bride rolls as crack referee Natale DeMarco observes.

Teams are picked at random by way of color-coded stickers. Some participants even make a fashion statement during play.

The court is rimmed with large stone embankments which virtually welcome you to come sit and watch. That's the Charles River in the background. Old Ironsides and the Bunker Hill Monument can be viewed from the courts. {That's Simona Bares rolling - she organized the party for her parents. Simona's a bicycle commuting consultant in New York.

Sometimes a great shot like this...

...generates a reaction like this!

Sometimes a party-crasher like this...

...generates much discussion and considerable consternation.

But, at day's end, to the victor go the spoils...
