Month: May 2021

We had an opportunity to show some newly minted college graduates around town recently. This young couple has recently moved to Lynn to start a new life as “real adults”. Kiersten will be interning aboard the Hurricane II for Cape Ann Whale Watch this summer, so we wanted to give them an idea of what she was getting into. We only had a few hours so we just hit some of the highlights.

Our day included a ride to Eastern Point Lighthouse, a walk around Stage Fort Park, Good Harbor Beach and lunch at the Mile Marker. Although we missed a photo opp on the boulevard, we still have that for the next time they visit. It’s fun to go to familiar places with new visitors.

Where do you like to take new visitors?

While the Fishtown Horribles Parade Committee was ecstatic over the Governor’s recent announcement that parades may happen, we unfortunately are unable to get a parade out with such short notice. We have also missed out on a whole year worth of planning and fundraising. Therefore after the year we’ve had, the committee would hate to disappoint the city with a rushed parade put on with limited funds raised. Our plan is to continue fundraising to next year, and plan a parade to remember in 2022! Currently accepting all donations via Fishtown Horribles Parade Po Box 924, Gloucester, MA 01930.We appreciate your understanding! We can’t wait to see you on the parade route next summer!
