Patch Cranston, RI --Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, is taking time of her busy schedule to come home to Bay View Academy this weekend and celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of the Academy’s Annual Manhattan at the Bay Fundraiser. Olivia, who is a Bay View graduate from the class of 2010, will be attending two of the special events associated with the celebration: Saturday evening’s Taste of the Bay and Sunday’s Mass and Brunch. She will be signing autographs at the Taste of the Bay from 6:30pm-7:00pm.
Since April of 1983, Bay View Academy has been celebrating its annual fundraiser, Manhattan at the Bay. It’s a weekend filled with food, drink, and most importantly a top-notch, student performed, cabaret-style, production of song and dance. Olivia performed in this show when she was a Bay View student and has such fond memories of it as well as dedication to Bay View that she is coming home to honor this important milestone of 30 years.
This year’s show, “Tradition! A Tribute to Cabaret 30,” features over 100 singers and dancers from grades five through twelve. The show will be performed five times during the four day Manhattan at the Bay celebration, from Thursday, April 25^th through Sunday, April 28^th.
Other events taking place on the weekend include the Thursday Student Night, the Friday Family Night, Saturday evening’s “Taste of the Bay” and the Sunday Mass and Brunch. For complete information visit www.bayviewacademy.org/manhattanatthebay30thanniversary.
Taste of the Bay is the gala event of this anniversary celebration, featuring tempting tastes from local restaurants, cafes, and caterers, as well as samples of over 80 wines and beers, organized by Clift’s Liquors (East Providence). From soup to short ribs to a make-your-own cannoli station, these vendors are putting out their finest to showcase their business. Gracie’s, Russell Morin Fine Catering, Tazza Café, Palmieri’s, Chapel Grille and many more will be joining us for this exciting event. Bay View own “Chefs at the Bay,” the Academy’s student cooking club, will also be present, whipping us tasty appetizers and desserts and serving them to guests.
