First Day of the Farmer’s Market–from the kid’s point of view

Just a few pics from today’s opening of the Farmers’ Market at its newly gorgeous location—GMG was well represented and the ladies and gentlemen who take the great pics were out in force but I got a few of my kids and the ceremony to share with you………Great Job to all involved—it is a great day for Cape Ann and the City of Gloucester!

Brianna and Lily are their way to the market!

Gloucester Treasure Trove

If you drive by Pond Road and see the big garage sale sign out, you should check out the treasures of The Recycler, Bill Loiacano. He has a whole warehouse of treasures that fill the inside and spill out around the entrances. The sheer amount of stuff is impressive. He really wants to divert things from the landfill and will find items by request. Among the treasures we’ve discovered are: Red Ryder wooden trike, matchbox cars, books, and vintage crystal glass doorknobs. He’s got everything from furniture and bikes to lamps and records. Whenever the sign is out – he’s there so stop on by and say hello!

Manchester Turf Field Installation

The turf filed is under construction and will be completed in several weeks.   The process is pretty neat to watch.   The prep work to the ground is vital and turf installation is like laying carpet.  All the seams are sewn together and the rubber is then installed with a special machine, then the last step is to add athletes!
