Gloucester Fireworks Shares-
So, we are less than a week away from our Labor Day weekend fireworks display and Concert on the Boulevard. This year we will be adding a tribute to Chris Dailey. The display starts with an “Opener”, which we will pause in the middle of the opener, then do the tribute to Chris, then finish the opener and continue with the display.
The tribute will be as follows: 6 flights of 3 shells, alternating red and white for the GHS colors, and the 6 flights honoring Chris, 1 for family, 2 for friends, 3 for education/scholarship, 4 for sports, 5 for surfing on the blue ocean, and 6 for everyone’s best friend. The 18 shells represent Chris’s number on the hockey team. At the end of the 18, there will be a large blue shell to drape down over the rest, representing Chris’s favorite color.
Please share the info about the tribute with everyone so it can be meaningful to the Dailey family.

Winhover End of August Feast of Dance and Music Performances

| This week celebrates the conclusion of August performances at Windhover with a feast of great dance and music. On Thursday August 28 and Friday, August 29th at 7:00pm, former principal dancer from the renowned Paul Taylor Dance Company, Annmaria Mazzini, performs in a show she curated with dancers and musicians working in a collaborative manner. This innovative performance is titled: “The Sound of Memory,” exploring music with sound bowls, Saigon water bells, Moroccan Crescent Drum, Caxixi Brazilian Shakers, Octo Cahon Drum, Indian Kinjira Drum, healing practices, vocals, oral history and varied choreography by Annmaria and others. |
The Sound of Memory ![]() Jennifer Mabus (dancer) and Brittany Breitman Nearing (sound bowls) rehearsing at Windhover |
| This evening presents a choreographic and musical meditation about the passage of time, caregiving, loss, fragility, and moving through life with a sense of awe and wonder. Renowned for its capacity to provoke thought and generate healing, “The Sound of Memory” explores questions of where in the body memory resides, what haunts us, and what sustains us. Tickets are available on the Windhover website or by using the buttons below. Distinguished bios of the artists can be found on the Windhover website: www.windhover.org |
| Then on Saturday, August 30, please join us in a musical bash when two talented music groups collaborate for an evening under the tent. Opening the evening at 6:30pm will be guitarist Brendan Evans and the Night Owls which brings together the music talents of guitarist Brendan Evans, vocalist Ben Blanchard and Daniel Palmer, a songwriter turned mystery/suspense novelist. The group performs mostly original material blending classical guitar with three-part harmonies to create a unique sound for their indie-folk infused songs. Then at 7:30pm, the Clements Brothers & Good Company perform. This is an exciting chance to see the local and beloved (and identical twins) Charles and George Clements with their full national touring band who will perform together under the tent. The Clements Brothers, who live here on Cape Ann, have been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember. With roots in rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. Tickets must be purchased in advance with this link. |
| And a sneak peek at September brings a group of local Cape Ann dancers and musicians together for a special one night only performance under the tent titled Locomotors on Friday, September 5 at 8:00pm. Locomotors is a collaborative music and dance group rooted in the practice of Dalcroze Eurhythmics and open-form improvisation, with a special focus on the somatic relationship between sound and movement. The core members are pianist and composer Michael Joviala, and dancer and choreographer Dawn Pratson. This performance also brings in guest artists Sarah Slifer Swift, dancer and director of Movement Arts in Gloucester ( MAGMA), plus with the work of visual artist Derick Melander, whose large-scale sculptures made from secondhand clothing, confront the intersection between global consumerism and our intimate relationship with what we wear. Tickets can be found here.The mission of Windhover this season continues to be: Collaboration… Connection… Community… and Creativity, which are our themes and directives. All of these upcoming performances are rare chances for you, the audience, to engage in these art forms and enjoy the collaborative beauty of these creative artists.Please come enjoy and support these artists in dance and music. Warm Wishes, Lisa Hahn, Windhover Executive Director Your Donation is Welcome We rely on community support and you to continue producing dance, drama, music and poetry at Windhover.

Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet Of The Week Bruno!

Meet Bruno! This sweet Lab mix has come full circle – born to one of our dogs here at the shelter, he was adopted as a puppy and recently returned through no fault of his own. Life took an unexpected turn, but he’s ready to find a new beginning with someone who understands him.
Now a mature boy, he gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a calm, confident canine friend. While he’s incredibly gentle and kind, the shelter environment has been a bit overwhelming for him. He can be nervous with new situations and sudden changes, so we recommend a quieter home without young children.
Once he settles in and knows he’s safe, his sweet personality shines. He’s loyal, sensitive, and would love nothing more than to be someone’s shadow – the kind of dog who just wants to be near his person.
If you’re looking for a steady, loving companion who’s already past the puppy chaos but still has so much love to give, this handsome guy might be your perfect match.
Bruno is now part of the extended stay club and his adoption fee has been reduced to help him find his forever home sooner.

From Our Sunday Livestream on www.goodmorninggloucester.com @onlyinbos reports “Massachusetts made to-go cocktails permanent.
Order up to 64oz with food, but drinks must be sealed and kept outside the passenger area of your car”. Like outside of the passenger area means what exactly? Do we duct tape the 64 oz Dirty martinis to our roof? Hold it outside the window? Can we get a little clarification?
