Come one, come all and see the splendor of our illuminated winter gardens. Many holidays and festivals are based on lights, some even being called a Festival of Lights, like Diwali for Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism, and Hanukah for Judaism. Christianity also celebrates using lights, seen on a Christmas tree or in a snowcapped windowsill. Tonight, visitors are invited to explore the grounds of the Stevens-Coolidge Place as they twinkle and shine with holiday lights that brighten the landscape during this holiday season. Pick up a song book and sing holiday songs or simply listen to others as you warm up with hot cocoa and make s’mores around our outdoor fire pit.
This is a three-weekend event. Full event schedule includes:
Friday, December 8 through Sunday, December 10, 5-7pm
Friday, December 15 through Sunday, December 17, 5-7pm
Friday, December 22 through Saturday, December 23 5-7pm

Wednesday December 6 seemed to be a popular day for closures. Lone Gull closed for electrical work; Cape Ann Museum closed to public for event; Parker River National Wildlife Refuge closed for Deer Hunt (yes, that’s what the sign said). We were turned off Rt 133 – closed for unknown reasons. We ran into a washed out road at Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary and turned back.
BUT the ocean was open for business and it was just spectacular at Eastern Point.

GAAC is extremely fortunate to have Sky & Telescope Magazine Senior Editor Kelly Beatty as our speaker for the December 8 Holiday party, with a riveting presentation on “The Sputnik Years.” Kelly will show us how it all happened, who was involved, and what some of the many important historic results of that event have been.
October 4, 1957 marked the beginning of the Space Age, with the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union. The satellite sped by over the heads of the world, and the space race was on. Everything that came later, from John Glenn to Neil Armstrong, from the Mercury rockets to the moon landings, to the Voyagers and the Rovers, to New Horizons’ visit to Pluto, follows from this one little satellite.
Kelly Beatty has been honored twice by the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) of the American Astronomical Society. In 2005 he received the…

As soon as I heard the ocean singing yesterday and a friend texted me to get down to the Boulevard, went to the Boulevard and the waves and splash over did not disappoint . Actually had to run from the spray to the other side of the street.
Last night Beauport Hotel opened their door for a fabulous open house. Santa welcomed lots of children. The decorations were spectacular. The staff went out of there day to make all feel merry! Reminded me of how all the big hotels in New York did Christmas when I was a child. Thank you Beauport for a fabulous night!!!
