This week’s WhereZat? has another T-shirt PRIZE!

Posted on by Sharon

Last week Matt Ayer was the first person to pinpoint the location as the Central Grammar Apartments The 1940 clue  was the year of last graduating class from what was the old high school. (I only know because my father graduated that year.) Congratulations, Matt and all the others who got the answer! Matt, you can get your t-shirt down at Joey’s dock.

How about this snippit? Where is it? One clue- It’s totally out in the open. You don’t have to climb the City Hall steps, walk through the woods, or swim out to the island. Good luck and thanks for playing!!

C B Fisk Open Shop Party To Celebrate Opus 137 November 13th

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 Dear Joey,

As we do at the end of the construction phase of every project, we are having an Open Shop at our place on Kondelin Road, just off Magnolia Avenue, in the Cape Ann Industrial Park. The party runs from two o’clock to six o’clock on Saturday, November 13. We’ll be showing off our newest pipe organ, Opus 137 for Christ Church, Andover.

The picture below is of the design model we made in 1 to 16 scale. The organ itself stands 25 feet tall and weighs 11 tons. It is quartered white oak in an Arts and Crafts inspired style for this beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque church.

Folks can come and play the organ or just listen, get tours of the entire 25,000 square foot shop, and see how we create these enormous instruments from scratch. Even little kids are fascinated by the place.

Thanks for helping us get the word out, we appreciate it.

Regards,

Greg

our school needs…contest

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi there,

We were so grateful for your post surrounding the Auction for the Arts event that we had last spring at East Gloucester Elementary. We’re hoping you might help us again especially because you have such a network and a strong connection to the arts community.

Would it be possible to post about this contest? We applied yesterday and the voting ends Tuesday. We need to reach folks so they’ll vote!

Here are the details:

Bing, the search engine, has unveiled a discover bing campaign. They’re asking folks to file submissions for “Our school needs…” in competition for several large awards that will be awarded November 9th! The closing date was today.

East Gloucester Elementary is trying to win one of these awards.

From today until Tuesday October 26th, just a few short days, readers and the community can help us win by voting us to the finals!

The top 15 finalists will be announced Wednesday October 27, 2010.

And then we vote again and hopefully we’ll have the votes to be awarded one of the 4 prizes: one large award is $100,000 and three others are $50,000 each.

Help EGS win $100,000 from Bing’s (search engine) our school needs…contest

If we make it to the finals, please vote again from 10/28-11/5.

Winners are announced on November 9th.

If you have twitter or facebook you can vote without registering with the contest. If you don’t, there is a (we hope not too dreaded) sign up for the contest, not for your life (just a quick fill out less than Amazon shipping form)

http://ourschoolneeds.discoverbing.com/Projects/Default.aspx?prj=1836#fbid=pwTCHMfzJ2b&wom=false

One vote per person; click on the stars, hopefully you think it warrants a “5”

Aside: Folks who vote for American Idol or Survivor are having the phone number tracked to keep tabs on the voting. If you can vote for one of those maybe you can forgive the hassle of signing in to the contest to vote for a school!

The Azorean Restaurant is delicious with authentic Portuguese and Azorean dishes! I especially love the tapas tower with 6 dishes for $30. Pictured is the  garlicky shrimp, salted cod cakes, red pepper boiled potatoes, fish-stuffed mushrooms, calamari, and Molho Vilao haddock.
