Night Lights at St. Peter’s Dock
As we were leaving Minglewood after dinner recently, I noticed how the still waters in the harbor reflected the lights. I hope you find it as beautiful and peaceful as I did.

Brandon Pratt saving people a lot on Homeowners insurance.
by prattbrandon
On Friday I got to catch up with Joey Ciaramitaro from Good Morning Gloucester to talk about the latest with mortgages, homeowners insurance and Florida homebuying.
Homeowners insurance keeps going up, especially in coastal communities. I work with many local insurance agents and I would be happy to help anyone shop their homeowners insurance to try to get it lowered (I am licensed in Mass as a Insurance Producer). I just helped Joey and Katelyn lower their insurance by $1500/year this month.
If you are thinking about buying in Florida, now is the time to start looking. I am licensed in Florida as well and just helped Joey and Katelyn buy a condo in Naples FL this month. We have a great real estate agent we work with down there too to help!
If you need any assistance in any of these areas, or any other real estate questions,
Contact Brandon Pratt www.northshorehomeloans.com or 617-688-6891

Magnolia Pier
After a rainy Tuesday, the sky started to clear up with a touch of fog. As can be seen, the ramp and float are still out of the water for needed repairs.

Final Events at Windhover this Season
| Final Events at Windhover this Season |
| Sure enough, the days are getting shorter, the breeze is cooler, and we look to see if there are traces of color in the trees, hoping that fall will wait outside just a while longer before busying our lives. Here at Windhover, thankfully it’s still summer for a while longer — with picnic tables for informal gatherings, and, of course, music and dance this week, and a community gathering to support The Open Door toward the end of August. We say “a while longer” as in while away an hour or two, celebrating together, as only art can, the precious passing of time, day to day, season to season. And speaking of celebrating — what a lovely, heartwarming Gala Summer Celebration it was last week! Deep thanks to all who joined us as we gathered as a community to remember just why we do what we do – bringing talented performing artists to this special place and giving audiences the chance to appreciate them. And we still have more in store for this month of September: |

And opening the show will be the rock classic band “Kicked off the Bus” based in Gloucester. Tickets can be found hereSaturday, September 5 at 7:00pm under the tent are several classical Indian dancers performing solos which display three different dance forms from India. The show is titled: “Samagata” which means “to come together” in Sanskrit.

This event is ticketed and supports both the Open Door and Windhover. The Open Door is a community-focused non-profit organization dedicated to easing the impact of hunger through its programs and outreach. More information and tickets can be found here.Please come and participate during these last lingering summer days where you can share music, dance and food…yes, cakes… all with a sense of community and sharing. With warm wishes, Lisa Hahn, Windhover Executive Director Duncan Hollomon, Windhover Board Member |
