It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Gloucester!

Last night in a light snow we lit the Lobster Trap Tree, thanks to Art Haven, a lot of volunteers and children who showed up and painted the buoys.  The light snow yesterday brought a special magic to the city.  Merry Christmas from Gloucester!!!

Ward One City Councilor Scott Memhard shares from Main Street:

“David Brooks from Art Haven resurrects the Christmas Ice Castle on Main Street for today’s Gloucester Middle Street Walk and Lobster Trap Christmas Tree lighting, with help from Larry and Dylan at Cape Pond Ice.

A few photos from this morning’s ice delivery, before the kid’s ice sculpting begins, and the predicted snow dresses it all up.”
