As you probably know by now, I am working at the Amesbury Sports Park, a huge, fun events complex with great food, obstacle races, concerts and all kinds of off-the-wall events. I am having a blast on big projects and more fun festivals than I’ve ever done before – and anyone who knows me knows I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m working hard to lure my people up to this neck of the woods to check out what the park’s new owners are up to and to see more of my folks around more often. We have just started bridging that off-island gap with the addition of Dan King’s Bandit Kings to our "Rally on the Sun" Sunday Music Series, a Spartan race training style boot camp run by Gloucester’s own Danny Vadala and an exclusive tent rental deal with Taylor Hedges at the Event Company who I’ve worked with on many events in my days with Lat43 and Alchemy.
But you know how we like to keep our people nearby and I’m super excited to share what I’m doing, so I’m pitching you a "friends and family" deal for our next event , June 16th Musical Chairs Festival – to entice you up to my new digs on the northern "North Shore".
I hope you’ll join us – it will be a wicked fun day of music, games, tubing and OGO rides, a mechanical bull, bag drop, paintball range, good food, beer, my company, of course, and a shot at fat cash and a place in history.
Details below.
Come up and see me!
Cheers,Jennifer

Hey Joey,
If GMG readers are looking for a summer beach-read, the novel “Purgatory Island”, which starts and ends in Gloucester, might fill the bill. It’s a fast paced, maritime adventure set during the Civil War. Purgatory Island is a horrendous Confederate Prison camp. Three mariners from New England follow different paths in the war, but end up in the camp. The major character is a Gloucester schooner fisherman, another is a whaler from Nantucket and the third is a schooner captain from Salem. Fishing on the Grand Banks, hunting whales in the Pacific and transporting lumber on West Coast schooners all play a role in the tale. No one has ever escaped from Purgatory Island. Unless the mariners put their heads together and come up with an escape plan, they’ll soon be dead from disease or starvation.
The book is available in hardcover and Kindle editions from Amazon. The cover paintings will soon be on display at the Annisquam Art Gallery.
Regards,
Tony Marolda, Annisquam
