  1. The Touch of all the youthful hearts

    We gather ounce more to the creative parts of our shore
    To admire the touch of these youthful hearts
    As with each stroke of the hand or brush
    Gives us moments of their talents to explore
    We make bid to own each treasured piece
    That was once the Lobstermen’s mark
    That now is of the beauty of each mind released
    Their vision that came from each heart
    Behold before you are the craft of inherited art
    From the work of loved ones, some since passed on
    The touch of boys and girls in each special style
    Bringing to each new owner a treasure never to part
    Beauty as such as The Captain at the wheel
    Or the wife and children on the edge of the sea
    A flag of our Freedom keeping its meaning real
    Sketches of a child’s heritage of what they want life to be
    So make your bid on each piece that reaches into your soul
    That reveals a part of yourself and what the heart seeks
    The money that is raised on this wonderful night
    Will enable each child to reach new heights
    Through the lessons this great programs continue to teach.

  3. Very nice Peter Todd and it’s sort of hard to tell who is having more fun the children or adults. That’s what made cape Ann famous. I remember us kids would something rascal like (Spank and the gang may) and another adult would call us on it…Tell us going to tell mom or dad oh boy did we promise never to do it again and stuck to it, as we always heard later same adult have you been behaving oh yes small town like cheers where everyone knows your name
