Big Green Truck Pizza Party Junior League Decorator Show House

We’ve heard many stories about this “Big Green Pizza Truck.” Sure sounded like the perfect marriage of the food truck trend and the freshest New Haven-style pizza.  One bite and I was hooked….

A few weeks back I checked out the Big Green Truck Pizza and its 850F oven up close when I photographed the West Hartford Junior League’s Show House Big Green Truck party.  The always upbeat and happy Kaitlin Halloran led the event–we got to know Kait a few years back when we photographed her wedding to Kelvin at Trinity.  Nice seeing Junior Leaguers Liz, Mary Jo and our good friend Sally (along with non-Junior Leaguer Ken).

The Junior League of Hartford sponsors the West Hartford Decorator’s Show House each year in which top area decorators, including our WH Center neighbors Labrazel Home and Gilley Kitchen and Bath spiff up a home to raise money for the JL’s efforts to help women in the Hartford area.   The JL is a group of Hartford area women leaders helping create future leaders–the key focus this year is Empowering Women and Girls to Overcome Obstacles where they’ve teamed up with the Junior Achievement folks.

A fun night…and great pizza!  Definitely check out the Big Green Truck for your next event  Click here to see more pics
