Much thanks to Sharon Lowe for manning the Red Carpet Cam!
A Complete Team Effort Proved Once Again That The Power Of Pulling In The Same Direction For A Great Event Can Reap Huge Rewards For Our Entire Community!
Great job by my fellow Block Party Committee members once again. Also a great job by the folks in City Government and the Police and Fire Departments.
Special thanks to some unsung heros who also helped tremendously during the event- Rick Moore, Donna Ardizzone, and Bob Gillis who helped clean the streets.
Thanks To the DPW for leaving the extra barrells.
Big thanks to The Cape Ann YMCA Clean Team who you will see in a video later today helping to clean the streets spotless at the end of the night.
I’d like to give a huge personal thank you to our Good Morning Gloucester Soldiers- Sharon who manned the GMG Block Party Celebrity Red Carpet Station (Slide show coming at 8AM), Joey and Frank Ciolino who built the backdrop and helped throughout the event at the media presentation truck and David Cox who will undoubtedly provide us with hundreds more photos from this magnificent evening .
Thanks to the people who provided the media presentations, the Art Haven Folks who provided children activities, and Georgie and Erika Hansen who were doing the face painting.
Thanks to all the musicians and performers who donated their time on one of the busiest nights of the year when they could be playing paid gigs elsewhere but play instead for free because they too realize that sometimes it’s not about getting paid.
The Downtown Merchants and restaurants once again put their best face forward and showed what a brilliant jewel we have in Downtown Gloucester.
Rocky Neck Art Association held its Beaux Arts Ball Celebration Thursday night and David Cox went down to get us the photos!

Junior dory crew winners to represent the USA vs Canada- LJ Robertson and Randy Parisi.
Ed Parnell and John Morris won the over 40 race
Tom Jarvis and Jimmy T beat Joe Sanfilippo and Mark Duvall
results from Damon
The winners go to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to race on Sept 12, at noon.
Juniors:
Randy Parisi/LJ Robertson 6:07
Kyle Edmonds/Joey Ciolino 6:13
This was quite a race. Both crews were fast and smooth and well matched. The difference may have been the second boat drifted to leeward of their course up near the turning mark, perhaps due to a big boat wake or it would have been really, really close.
Over 40:
John Morris/Ed Parnell 5:48
Mike Harmon/John Scola 5:54
Sam Scola/Steve Goodick 6:02
All very experienced crews and the most experienced of all pulled it off. Congratulations!
Mixed Doubles (one entry)
Jen and Jeff Muise 6:23
Good time for just rowing around the course. Good luck in Canada!
All of the above on 1/2 mile course
Open (one mile Course):
Jim Tarantino/Tom Jarvis 10:31
Jerry Ciaramitaro/Alan Morrissey 10:39
Joe Sanfillippo/Mark Duval 10:42
Mike Mitchell/Rob Morrissey 11:13
This was a close race for the first three positions. The Duval/Sanfillippo dory drifted off course to leeward going out or it would have been closer. As it was the two boats in lane 1 and 2 steered closer to their line and came in 2 and 1.
There was no women’s race.
If I’ve caught you on camera in the past 10 years, chances are your face will be included in my slideshow “Express Yourself, Gloucester!” tonight at the Block Party. Come on down and check it out. 300 faces in 15 minutes with fun,upbeat music! See you there! —Sharon
