The 54th Annual Gloucester Sidewalk Bazaar was a success! Main Street was a hot, happening, fun filled place to be for three days!
I would like to personally thank Linda Palazola of Palazola’s Sporting Goods, Joe Ciolino of The Weathervane and Christine Orlando of Kids’ Unlimited for their continued dedication to the Gloucester Sidewalk Bazaar.
I can assure you that without the commitment of these folks the Sidewalk Bazaar would not have happen and we would have lost a Gloucester Tradition. I feel honored to have been part of the event for the last two years.
The summer is always a busy time for everyone, and we would not have been able to have such a great event if it wasn’t for the commitment of this amazing community. Gloucester should be proud.
I’d like to thank Mayor Carolyn Kirk and especially Jim Duggan who was always willing to help address any concerns, City Clerk, Linda Lowe who guided me through the new permitting process, Mark Cole and Rose LoPiccolo of the DPW- street closing and trash are always hot topics, Food Inspector Rosalie Nicastro, Deputy Chief Steve Aiello of the Gloucester Fire Department and Lieutenant Joseph Aiello of the Gloucester Police Department both are a pleasure to work with, and of course our financial sponsors: Howard Frisch, of Horvitz & Frisch, p.c., Bank Gloucester,
Cape Ann Savings Bank and Rockport National Bank.
Lastly, but definitely not least are the team of volunteers that helped keep the event running smoothly, manning the streets and providing useful information to visitors with a smile- all for the simple love of Gloucester and a bright yellow t’ shirt: Mary Howard, Fred Bodin, Janet Robbins, Kettie Maclean, Amber Rose Rallo, Marlania Rallo, Evan Dombrowski, Josie Martell, Jack Brown, Chelsea Osborn, Joanne Marks, Pat & Phil Lambert, John Orlando, Fayette Severance, Nina Ryan Sargent, Julie Titone, Chris from Harbor Goods and Melissa and Bill Cox.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It was fun!
Sincerely,
Grace Giambanco Numerosi

Grace – THIS WAS THE BEST BAZAAR I HAVE SEEN IN MY 16 YEARS HERE! Thanks for the recognition. I didn’t do all that much, except to be Sheriff every morning between my gallery and Cafe Sicilia. The Bazaar is very hard work between setup, inside and outside, up and down from the curb, selling, the heat, and takedown. We try to mix it up and have fun here, and I thank Aron the glass artist and Pat, the fish print artist. And I especially thank Laura from the Dress Code and Laureen from the Beauty Bar on Parker Street – “your energy rocked the top off our tents” (check out the video on my FB Page: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=334105463344053
We’ll be out on the sidewalk Saturday August 18th. Go-Go-AGO baby!

Yes, congratulations. Though Main St. has changed quite a bit, It did feel more like the Bazaar of old. Thank you all. Now I hope some of those raffle tickets pay off!
