READY, SET……GO!!! GET YOUR CREATIVE HATS ON AND COME ON DOWN. Fishtown Horribles Parade Tuesday July 3rd
Just wanted to remind everyone that the Fishtown Horribles will kick off once again from Gloucester High School at 6pm on Tuesday July 3rd. There is NO fee to be in the parade and no pre-registration. We do ask all participants to sign a waiver agreeing to all the guidelines for a fun and safe parade. It is a first come first out parade line up. We do ask that if you come early that you check in with someone on the parade committee so we can confirm you are in the correct area. Please remember that one of our biggest fundraisers is the parade itself, we need your donations to keep this parade alive!
If you have any questions please contact Chairman Dave Tucker at 508-517-1731, email fishtownhp@gmail.com or you can contact anyone on the parade committee!
BIG THANKS FOR ALL WHO SUPPORT THE FISHTOWN HORRIBLES PARADE!!!

Faces of Fiesta
You’re not one of those people who avoids Fiesta are you?
OK, I said it. It’s the elephant in the room. We actually have friends who look at us like we’re mental patients when we say we LOVE FIESTA! There are only a few places on Earth where the whole city parties and invites tens of thousands of other people to join in. Rio and New Orleans come to mind. Not bad company for Gloucester to be in, is it? Just look at this video from last year:
The guys who didn’t get the pole aren’t cursing the winner. They’re cheering him and carrying him on their shoulders out of the water and up the street. That’s the spirit I’m talking about! A little more of this spirit on a daily basis would make all our lives better.
Plus there’s live music all over town (see full live music schedule here) and nearly everybody you run into is in a great mood for days at a time. So let’s have some fun, OK?

Hi Joey, this just came up if you want to post it.
I was getting a breath of fresh air out on the sidewalk just now, chatting with Max, the Bar Manager of Jalapeños Mexican Restaurant next door. I suggested they have a "Greasy Pole" cocktail special for Saint Peter’s Fiesta. "Great idea," he said, "we could use the local Folly Cove Rum and grapefruit juice in it!" As for liquors and other ingredients – got any ideas? If they use your recipe you’ll get a drink on the house! Reply to me at info@BodinHistoricPhoto.com

Dave Says,
Put your glands together and let’s welcome back that rockem’ sockem’ vixen of the blues: Ms. Diane Blue. She’ll be gracing our stage this week with enough heat to melt your mind! I love this woman! She really makes it happen! She’ll be singing’ all your favorite toons and blowing that category 5 harmonica till the clowns come home!
Backing her up and putting on a happy face will be that winsome wildcat of the 88’s: Mr. John Cameron, rapidly becoming my favorite ping partner. Thrashing the skins will be that Madhouse® rump-a-pum-pum pummeler, Mr. roger Brocklebank. Gonna make him sing, too.
Of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will be on hand, either cringing or wiggling thru the changes. A great nite to go out!
