Attendees will enjoy free food from popular vendors like The Big Pig BBQ and The Whoopie Wagon, plus entertainment including: Therapy Horses & Therapy Dogs, Henna & Tarot Card Readings, Kickball & Dodgeball, Video Games, Tie-Dye your own shirt, Tons of raffle prizes, including Beats headphones!

If you know any high school students (grades 8th-12th) who would be interested, invite them to join us on Saturday, June 14, 2025, from 12–3 PM at 32 Pooles Lane, Rockport, MA (Rockport Teen Center).

Thanks so much and please let me know if you have any questions. CCing my colleague David Tucker as he has been working hard organizing this awesome event.

My View From Lubec Maine

Some of you are probably aware that I am currently on a photography trip to Lubec and Bar Harbor Maine. Puffins are the goal and a puffin post is coming soon, but first I had some observations to share about the Lubec area. In many ways, it reminds me of Gloucester: lobster boats, lighthouses, and memorials to lost fishermen. Although Lubec’s Fisherman’s Memorial is no where near the level of Gloucester’s, it’s still a somber reminder. There are lobster and scallop boats everywhere but no fishermen in the places we have been visiting (stunning, I know…) We were shown an interesting “farm” for capturing the herring that the lobster boats require which you see here as sticks standing upright in the water forming a kind of corral for the herring. Even the bait is an industry unto itself.

Hopefully I will be sharing other aspects of my 2025 Puffin Escapade in the upcoming days. You can always see further details and stories on Facebook at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures…....there may even already be some puffin shots posted there! (a reward for those of you that read to the end of the post!)
