Buoy Painting At Art Haven pics By Thom Falzorano
I can’t even believe how many events went down yesterday. How much fun and community involvement and volunteerism went into making it such an incredible day for Gloucester folks to enjoy.
There is so much to cover between the start of the day at City Hall with the Docksiders, Gingerbread House Competition, and hanging out with the Disney Characters.
Then off to Art Haven for Buoy Painting and Ice Sculpting.
Then to watch the star and buoys get placed upon the lobster trap tree.
Quick lunch at Espresso ($7.95 Chicken Marsala rocked).
Hop over to the Cape Ann Museum for a children’s Christmas caroling concert with FOB Mikayla Ciolino.
Then back to City Hall for Christmas play.
To Pleasant St Tea and Coffee Co for killer hot chocolate and a fatastic artisan show.
A quick stroll down Main St to catch up with Janice Lufkin Shea and then back to the homestead.
If you don’t see your pic today it’s only because there is so much content we will be releasing it over the next few days. Everything is getting posted though- fear not.
