On Monday night, the Strawberry Moon did not disappoint. Since we were tired from a great Fiesta weekend, sat on the deck and took the photo.

Sunday Fiesta 2026
On Sunday, Fiesta was special. The mass that takes place at St. Peter’s Park is always inspirational. The smell of the food, the sounds of the rides and happy people make for an enjoyable day. The Greasy Pole and Seine boats were a challenge with the fog coming in. Congratulations to Derek Hopkin for his win on Sunday. The Seine boats were postponed until Monday at 5:00. Thank you, the Fiesta Committee, for another successful event. Looking forward to the 100th next year.

Friday’s Fiesta VIVA
Friday’s Fiesta did not disappoint. Seine Boat races and the Greay Pole competition were fun. Frank Neal the Friday Night Greasy Pole winner was impressive. Watching the walkers hanging on and trying to get back was inspiring. Tonnos’s selling Cannoli’s on Stacy Boulevard.

2026 Fiesta 5K
On Thursday night, Fiesta 5 K took place. There were 1800 runners and lots of supporters along the way. I went to the start to take a look who was running. As Pat D mentioned there was an impressive group running for Chris Daily. Enjoyed the young kids running and kids in strollers with four footed friends. Thank you everyone who sponsored and the committee who made this event a success.

What a day at Stage Fort Park
Battle Gloucester was fantastic on Saturday. Stage For Park was alive with reenactors, a fantastic narrative and a wonderful crowd. There was so much to do and learn. Here are a couple of photos from the park. Remember volunteering has great benefits.

Rainbow
After the rain on Thursday, the sun came out and rainbows were appearing everywhere. The one in this photo was very grainy with spooky looking clouds.

Oh no the ramp
Magnolia Pier Ramp detached from the pier and the float on Thursday due to wind and waves. Hopefully it can get fixed quickly.

Wednesday afternoon
How lucky are we to live here. Went over to Wingaersheek Beach on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed the sun, ocean and sand. These kids looked like they were having a meeting with regards to the tide coming in or out.
The salt water is so healing.

Fun Summer days
The beach is a funk place to be on any day of the year. This day was glorious. Love this kid enjoying his flippers no matter how difficult it was to walk.
