A benefit Bananas Fashion Show to get the hot air out of City Hall.

Richard Leonard, the owner of the iconic Main Street vintage clothing store, Bananas, is staging one of his rare fashion extravaganzas on Saturday April 23 and Sunday April 24. The production will benefit the Gloucester City Hall restoration fund with the proceeds being used to restore the auditorium’s ventilation system. As Maggie Rosa, Chair of the City Hall Restoration Commission says with a smile, “we are aiming to get the hot air out of City Hall!”

This show, Leonard’s third held to benefit City Hall restoration, will include his Bananarettes, a group of both women and men, some of whom travel from New York City to participate.

The creative black tie Saturday gala starts at 7:00 p.m. and will include live & silent auctions, champagne & dessert – tickets are $75 each. On Sunday the doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the show will include a pick-a-prize auction and light refreshments – tickets are $35 each for adults and $15 for people 18 years and under.

“This being Gloucester, you can dress however you want to, but it’s a lot of fun to wear something different. If you have nothing to wear, go to Bananas and you will find something” says Jan Bell, Co-chair of the event.

Tickets are on sale at Bananas (78 Main St., Gloucester,) Alexandra’s Bread (265 Main St., Gloucester,) and online at Eventbrite. For more information, please contact BananasFashionShow@gmail.com.

North Shore Women On Wheels (WOW) is part of National “Women on Wheels” Riding Group.
May 7th 2015 was International Female Ride Day and our One Day Only Photo Contest.  All chapters across the Nation were asked to send in a group photo from that day.  I felt no place beats the Fisherman At The Wheel, to represent the North Shore.  It paid off, we won the contest and as you can see we are on the Women On Wheels cover magazine for March/April 2016!
We have been featured also in Motorcyclists Post Magazine.  This picture just shows a small count of our group which is over 60 members.  May 7, 2016 is once again International Female Riding Day, come join us for a great day at Seacoast Harley, Hampton NH.  All are welcome. More information about our group please find us on Facebook “North Shore Women On Wheels”.

We were talking on GloucesterCast 177 about the One Hour At A Time Gang and how great it is and I told Donna I’d donate money toward getting the team new Shirts for the people that volunteered regularly.

So if you would like to show your appreciation to Donna and her band of merry litter picker uppers, buy one of these hoodies. 100% of the profits will go to her for the cause.  All profits from purchases of Hoodies through Sunday will go to Donna.

Here’s the direct link to purchase-  http://gmg.storenvy.com/products/13978155-gloucester-beach-sticker-t-shirt-heather-gray
