Seine Boat Intel Shares This Seine Boat Information About The Races Starting Today

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A REMINDER….in the next three days….130 high school student athletes will be competing in junior seine boat races (AND…more impressive, more than 150 high school student athletes in total have competed in the seine boat races this year). That includes both boys and girls junior crews. That is AMAZING. AND…they deserve your support. So….let’s pack Pavilion Beach once again.

Tomorrow, Friday morning, starting at 9:00AM. There will be THREE three-boat boys junior elimination races to determine which crews will advance to Saturday’s race…..and possibly a chance to challenge Family Strokes, the 2022 defending junior boys seine boat champions on Sunday afternoon.

Then, tomorrow evening, “around” 6:00-ish PM…..the junior girls seine boat championship race will be held (after the Women’s championship race and Friday Greasy Pole competition). Both elimination race champions from Sunday’s races, The Lady Lukes and Chicks with Sticks, will be giving their best shot to knock off the defending 20222 junior girls champions, All OAR Nothing.

Each of these rowers is the future of our iconic and unique tradition. They have put in the time and effort over the past two weeks to get ready for this. Rowing a seine boat is not easy….and they have all performed like champions.

So let’s make the time, show your support and cheer them on.

PS Huge shout out to Jerry Ciaramitaro, Cindy Perry and Mike Harmon for crushing it and getting a ton of high school student interested in the race. Great job.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

A Press Release:

I created a Poster to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Gloucester, MA. It would be great if this is appears in time for Fiesta in color. I thought it would be fun to create a colorful image to celebrate Gloucester.  Initially, I created a Linoleum Block Print. which I had Cape Ann Giclee make into a Poster.  The image includes the iconic  Gloucester Town Hall, the Seagulls, Our Lady of Good Voyage, St. Peter, A Schooner, representing The Schooner Festival , the local Schooners and the fishing vessels in general, the fish and the Ocean. You can find these Posters at the local

Businesses:  Pop Gallery, Art & Antiques and Alexandras Bakery on Main Street.  Also, you can find the Poster at Gloucester Stage and The Building Center Gift Shop. In one of the images that I am sending

I am wearing a dress from Pop Gallery.  

Thank you,

Elizabeth Harty
