The Schooner Adventure, adorned with lights showing her magnificent silhouette, awaited the fireworks display. As a few fireworks sent up alerting the start of show lit up the sky, they captured her brilliance. Soon after, this grand 100 year old beauty turned off her lights to enjoy the spectacular show. In this image, you can also see the Ardelle (far left), and I believe the Lewis H. Story over to the (far right) with Stage Fort ablaze.

I was lucky enough to get a preview of the beautiful and compelling new exhibit that pays homage to David Hockney through the lens of his dear friend, local artist Bing McGilvray.
Thanks to Bing, visitors can view a remarkable collection of artifacts: sketches, multi-page faxes that constitute a larger portrait, museum posters and an enormous Taschen art book that all feature Hockney’s vividly colorful, engaging artwork.
You are warmly invited to explore this luminous show and its accompanying events! Bravo to Bing and his team at Manship.

They did this once before, in 1992, when families handed over more than 600 photos that had never left their homes. This time it’s a full century of Fiesta, with the Cape Ann Museum as the partner, up while the whole city is in the street.
Your grandmother could be on that wall.
CAM will scan whatever you bring, for free, and your originals go home with you the same day.
The procession, the greasy pole, the Blessing of the Fleet, the altar, the carnival, your family standing around on Fiesta weekend. Blurry ones count.
Most photos like these leave a family when a house finally gets cleaned out. Better they end up on a wall first.
Two ways in:
🗓️ Free scanning day, Saturday, October 24, 9 AM to 1 PM, CAM Green, 13 Poplar Street 📧 Or email a scan to library@capeannmuseum.org
Deadline: December 31, 2026. Include the year, the place, and who’s in it if you know.
Share this with someone whose family has been going since before you were born.

Meet Mancha, a 5 month old pup who traveled all the way from Puerto Rico with her four siblings in search of her forever home!
Mancha is considered special needs due to an injury she experienced before coming to us that caused some degree of paralysis. Thankfully, this resilient little girl has made an amazing recovery and is now able to walk, run, play, and enjoy life just like any other puppy! She does still have a bit of a funny gait in her back legs, but her current condition is not painful and certainly doesn’t slow her down. Her bathroom habits are affected however, and while Mancha is able to hold her urine, she doesn’t always realize when she is going number 2. Becoming fully potty trained may be difficult and this is something her future family should be prepared to potentially manage long-term.
But don’t tell Mancha she’s any different! She loves other dogs and has been fostered with canine friends who she loves running around and playing with. Her current foster even recently took her paddleboarding, and Mancha was happy to join in on the adventure!
Mancha has also made some special friends around town! Her foster is friends with the Gloucester Fire Department, and after getting to know this sweet girl, some of the firefighters fell in love with her too. They generously donated $150 toward reducing Mancha’s adoption fee to help her find her forever family!
Mancha’s special needs aren’t stopping her from living a happy, active puppy life. She’s looking for a family who will embrace everything that makes her special and give this sweet, adventurous girl the loving home she deserves!
