Latitude 43 would like to thank our vendors and supporters for their help, donations and participation in making our Celebrate Gloucester 2 outdoor theater café for Newell Stadium a huge success.

For the generous donation of his lot for our expansive café, Vito Giacalone and the Giacalone brothers at Fisherman’s Wharf.  For orchestrating setup and heavy lifting, Danny Normand. For lighting and electrical, Roy Spittle Electrical. For the entertainment, the hype, the screen, and the idea itself, Joey Ciaramitaro.  For all around construction and setup wizardry, Ed Collard.

For seamstress services on the projection screen and warming up the crowd with delicious  hot chocolate, Sister Felicia.  For putting in a very tough day of hauling tables after a late football game on the line, Michael Falzarano. For lending us tables, Cape Ann Farmer’s Market. For donating additional tables and chairs, Taylor Hedges at Event for Rent.  For food and beverage donations, our vendors Ryan and Wood, Merrimack Valley Distributing, Intershell, Halibut Jack, Kinnealy, Sysco, Sid Wainer, Arrow, MS Walker, United, Horizon and  Shaheen. For providing posters to illustrate stadium plan, Dan King. For their help, through their offices, in making the permitting process a “breeze”, the Gloucester Licensing Board and Rosalie Nicastro at the Board of Health. 

For the last minute poster hanging and promotions, Rob Parsons, June Steele and David Amero.  For media coverage and a serious call to action with the inclusion of the Gridiron Greats awards ceremony to fill the café with GHS football stars and their families, Matt Burke and the Gloucester Daily Times. And for coming out on a cold night to watch a great show for a good cause, the people of Gloucester.

The warmth and commitment expressed by the generous outpouring of help and support made it an event worth repeating.  We are very grateful to work in such an amazing community.
