Posted on by Pat D

The annual Fish Box Derby event is coming up soon (Sunday Sept 17 10:30 AM check in for cars and drivers). This is a super fun event held on Rogers St. near Gortons and if you’ve never been, it’s a great time. So much effort by drivers, families and sponsors to make the derby cars ready to race and it is appreciated! The inspections were recently held at Extreme Auto on Kondelin Road and these photos were taken by GMG Jim there. Thanks Sean!

Posted on by Pat D

I happened across the newest (and final) mosaic being installed alongside the others on the Americold building on Rogers St. yesterday. Lesley Davison was also watching and let me know there will be a small event held Thurs Aug 31 from 4-6 to celebrate the mosaics held by Mosaic Gloucester. Hoping to see you there! These mosaics are just beautiful and well worth a stop-by.
