Two Decades Ago-

Hi Joey.  Looks like plenty of great things are going on in town as usual!  Came across these old clippings and thought you might enjoy…although not as good as the real thing, which we’re looking forward to seeing when you and your team start posting coverage for us all!

Happy Labor Day and don’t labor too much,

Ann

I’m guessing these are from the Gloucester Daily Times.

Helping Hand!
A Helping Hand?

After the Magnolia Road Race Mayor Kirk and the residents of Magnolia made their way down to the Pier for what many here in Magnolia do often.  Jump from the Pier!   Well in all good fun and an opportunity to raise a few dollars and help encourage Mayor Kirk in making the leap of faith!   The push was raffled off, well don’t you know the wining bidder was Mac Bell.  With a helping the mayor was inflight to a safe landing in Magnolia Harbor.   Thanks to all that made the Magnolia Libary celebration a success.
