Hi Joey ,
We pick and choose when we go over the bridge and my one volunteer thing I do is with the Boston Children’s Museum. They serve our North Shore kids well and this weekends event is a great way for families, especially Grandparents to have a wonderful off island experience!
Another connection Gloucester has with the BCM is that they have invited our own Docksiders to play a concert there in the spring!
The BCM is also partnering with the about to be opened Container Store at the North Shore Mall in October. 10% of the opening weekend sales will go to the Boston Childrens Museum , so when shopping down the line , think helping all our kids too . There , I used ,"over the bridge", "off island" and "down the line" all in one tiny emal !
Best regards ,
Kathy Slifer

Salty Dog Day at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum, Saturday, September 15th – 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
The Essex Shipbuilding Museum will be holding its popular Salty Dog Day on Saturday, September 15th, from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm (rain date Sunday, September 16th).
All are invited, with their 4 legged friends, to participate in this wonderful day filled with activities for people and dogs alike, and to learn a little of the unique history between dogs and our maritime past. This year the museum will have special events which will be kicked off at noon by the Salty Dog Costume Parade (for the dogs not the people). Prizes will be given for the Best Nautical Costume, Best Dressed, and Judges’ Choice. Daisy Nell will introduce her new book “Rocky at the Dockside”. There will be agility demonstrations, live music by Kathy Corneau, consultations with Will Horton on Canine Behavior and Training, and the Schooner Adventure introducing “Skippy’s Adventure”.
For those wanting to wander and try new things there will be lots of additional activities for kids and dogs, and for adults, kids, and dogs there will be the Barque Avenue marketplace.
If hunger strikes, wander over to the Salty Dog Galley.
Good Morning Gloucester
