Coral At Bob And Dave’s
We’ve been getting out of work late and on the drive home I always pass by Bob and Dave’s in the dark when they have long since closed. They have redone their window display with some really cool stuff so I had meant to get in there to check out what the boys had been up to.
As luck would have it yesterday morning when I was going for my coffee Bob and Dave were directly in front of me and pulled in so I pulled in next to them and had a peek inside.
Shhhhhhhhhh!
Don’t tell the Mrs -this is one of her Christmas presents that I bought yesterday. It’s for a small shell and coral collection on our bookcase.

The Madonna At Bob And Dave’s On Bass Ave
Bob and Dave’s on Bass Ave has a beautiful collection of Madonna and Jesus statue and figureheads. Their shop is worth visiting not only for their friendly stories but the place is like a treasure chest and museum rolled up into one. A true Gloucester gem.

Gloucester Lobster Trap Tree 2008
David Brooks from Art Haven tells me that over 150 kids got to paint a buoy for the tree. How’s that for community spirit? Click this text to see the scene Lia captured when Santa showed up aboard a fire truck to light the tree.

Menage Gallery Tower Of Power
This work of art was constructed by Ed Soucy at The Menage Gallery Downtown. It stands 13 feet 6 inches tall and is floor to ceiling. Viking oars adorn it. Unbelievable. Just another reason to head downtown to check out stuff you’ll never find in Plainseville or Anytown USA.

Gloucester’s Lobster Trap Tree 2008
If you haven’t got down to see it yet you really ought to. Its right next to the police station. (If you have any outstanding warrants for arrest you might want to wear a disguise) I can’t believe how tall it is, and it is covered with buoys hand painted by the kids at Art Haven. The whole thing is just beautiful. Art Haven Video Part II at 9:00AM

The Bean’s Gingerbread House
Not too shabby for a three year old. Inside joke here- “The Teacher Said She’s Very Advanced. She Also Told Me She’s Never Seen That Level Of Artistry In Any Child In Her 30 Years Of Teaching Art”
The above writing is a joke that only the Mrs will appreciate and not inteded for anyone to take seriously^^^^

Things To Do- Lobster Trap Tree Lighting Saturday Dec 13th
From Jeff Worthley-
On Saturday, December 13th, at 4 pm the community will gather to light the Lobster Trap Tree at the Gloucester Police Station Plaza (Main Street).
This year’s tree, believed to be the world’s largest Lobster Trap Tree consists of over 300 traps which have been loaned by a half dozen Gloucester lobstermen.
The tree will be adorned with over 50 buoys, donated by Winchester Fishing, which will be painted by children at Art Haven on Friday afternoon and Saturday during the day.
The tree lighting ceremony will feature music provided by DJ Scotti Mac, caroling, Santa’s arrival and the lighting of the tree.
The 300 traps were moved by Tally’s Trucking Service and Earth Works where a half dozen volunteers have labored for the past two weeks building the tree and stringing the lights
This year marks the ninth time the Lobster Trap Tree has been built and stands taller than ever.
This year’s celebration is sponsored by BankGloucester, which is opening their renovated building to the public on the same day.
Good Morning Gloucester
