Awesome Gloucester, Congratulation to The Magnolia Community Farmers Market

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

From the  Magnolia Community Farmers Market

Still kinda speechless. With the grant that we received last night from Awesome Gloucester, our massive farmers market to-do list seems much more manageable. It’s been such a great pleasure working with this team and compiling our creativity and drive into something we are truly proud to be a part of. And it’s so rewarding that a group of “awesome” strangers sees this potential too. I hope all the Awesome Trustees can make it to opening day so that they can see the fruits of our labor which they have helped to nurture and grow. I can’t wait to get crackin.’ #buildingabettermarket

Tree work

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

After the recent October Nor’easter, we lost an over 40 foot Oak Tree that actually split in two and went over to our neighbor’s driveway.  What a mess.  Yesterday Mayer Tree and Magnolia Tree came and did an amazing job cutting and cleaning up trees.  Photos are not so good due to the rain but amazing how careful these tree workers are.

 

Agape Giving Tree Magnolia Library

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

In conjunction with the outdoor Magnolia Tree Lighting, Agapé Brewing Community will be lighting an indoor “giving tree” on Sunday, December 8 at the Magnolia Library. Agape has partnered with Pathways for Children to supply gifts for up to 45 local children in need. The Giving Tree will have tags/ornaments each listing info about the children (age, favorite things, toy wish list, etc). After we light the tree, all in attendance are encouraged to take a tag and go shopping for that child. All gifts should be NEW and UNWRAPPED and can be dropped off at our 2nd Annual Holiday Marketplace on Sunday Dec 15 from 12pm-5pm at the Magnolia Library (additional drop off times TBD).

The tree lighting will also feature food, beer, live music, crafts, games, and pictures with Santa.

Rough waters on Monday, The Magnolia Pier looks great

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Monday about 2 hours before high tide, went by the Magnolia Pier.  You can see how sturdy the pier is built and being 2 feet higher will make a huge difference when we have storms.

Gloucester 400, Our Stories Begin: 1623 through 1722

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni
The Gloucester 400 Steering Committee invites the community to the first Signature event leading up to 2023 for an exploration of the settlement’s history with a focus on its first century, 1623 through 1722. Beginning with the Native Americans who lived here before the Europeans arrived, and ending with the beginning waves of immigration, the program will highlight the first settler families who brought the settlement forward. All are encouraged to attend and participate.
