BANANAS, ROCK!!!!! Breaking News Update!
Drats! I’ve Been Out smarted again.
The clues I gave must’ve been too easy.
I think it was the Banana Splits TV Show Theme Song that Gave it away.
Here’s The photo of Kerry, and Her Mom, Karen McNally After Winning the “Bazaar Art Rock Contest”.
They are the Winners of a ROCK! An “ART, ROCKS!” Rock.
They Figured out all the clues and Found their way to the Vintage Clothing Store “Bananas” to claim their Prize.
Here’s the Emails I received from Kerry and Her Mom Karen;
Hi Mr. Frontiero,
I would like to let you know that I found your awesome rock at Bananas!
My mom and I are very excited!!!!
I love painting, and I have been collecting art work from different states. I would love to add your rock to my art collection.
We walked around main street, this afternoon, telling your story of the painted rocks.
My mom had fun solving the riddle, and I couldn’t believe that I actually found one of your amazing rocks!
Thank you!
-Kerry McNally
From Karen; (Kerry’s Mom)
Your artwork, and how it was discovered, has been Kerry’s main topic of discussion with friends and family since Saturday.
The excitement of it’s find has not diminished, and I don’t think that it ever will!
Kerry says “Thank you for the great adventure”.
Thanks!
-Karen
I’m Humbled. Well Honored is probably a better word. 🙂

Good Morning Gloucester Pet of The Week
From Tina Ketchopolos-
My name is Chocolate and I am a sweet one-year-old girl pup.
I was hit by a car when I was just a few months old
and my front leg had to be removed – but this doesn’t
slow me down at all! I think I am Retrieve,
Corgi and terrific. If you would like to meet me,
I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester.
Dog Day is Sunday, September 12 from
11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester.
I would just love to be adopted and go to this
event with my new owner(s). I know a few people
might look at me because of my injury – – but it doesn’t matter
what is missing – what matters is what I have – a good heart!

Green Meadows Farm: CSA Haul
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means that you invest in the farm by paying at the planting season so the farmer has money for seed and then you get a share of the food they produce.
Our CSA keeps us in touch with reality of the seasons, the food, and gets us outside. (Not to mention it’s a great value and delicious!) It is so much fun every week picking up our produce and cutting flowers and herbs. Almost every week has pick your own such as blueberries and beans the week this was taken.
Here is the haul from our small share a few weeks back plus some focal art from my wee one…
Many local farms offer them and at less than $20 a week it’s a great value for our small share. If you’re interested, find a local CSA here at Local Harvest.

Working Waterfront Walking Tour
Come join us for a walking tour of the Gloucester Working Harbor, starting at the Fisherman’s Statue and ending at the Fitz Henry Lane Park.

Old companies and buildings will be identified at their original locations as we make our way down the Boulevard and Rogers St.

Jann and Ed Greenburg Have A Gloucester Tourism Question
Ed Writes-
Hi Joey:
We live across the harbor from Captain Joe’s on Freshwater Cove and could not believe our eyes today at about 12:00 noon when a people packed BHC ( Boston Harbor Cruise) ferry came into the harbor and turned around in front of the Copper Paint factory and proceeded to leave the port abruptly.
Query: Why can’t we arrange for said ferry (ies) to tie up and either stay for a couple of hours or at the very least drop people off in Gloucester and/or take people to Boston ? Isn’t Cruiseport designed to do that? Why can’t we at least be part of the Salem – Boston run. It is hard to see that many people with just as many wallets make such a quick meaningless trip.
Sincerely
Jann & Ed
Anyone wanna take a stab at this one?

2010 Gloucester Fisherman Triathlon Pics from David Cox Part I
I couldn’t be prouder of our coverage of The Gloucester Fisherman Triathlon.
Everyone stepped up to once again bring you the very best coverage of the event all the way from this past winter when we started our interviews with Janda and Judy Destino pumping up the race, Manny getting everyone excited with his pre-race interviews, throughout our live coverage and reporting as well as posting photos of the winners within minutes of them crossing the finish line, Thom Falzarano’s photo slideshow of the beginning of the race with over 70 hi res pictures posted within an hour of the start of the race,Sister Felicia sending in pictures as the race was unfolding, Marty posting his usual journalistic quality scene photography, Ed Collard getting the footage of the race course and calmly describing the scenes. Over 500 hi res photos in all, over 5 hours of video coverage, community photos and involvement, and being the very first to report the winners anywhere I’d say I owe the crew a pizza party at the very least.
You Guys Rock and we once again proved that THIS IS THE SOURCE! GMG BABY! Here’s the start of the Fantastic camera work by our David Cox!
