Good News about Gloucester In Yankee Magazine
Hey Joey,
Gloucester is once again in the spotlight in Yankee Magazine. In the July/August issue, there is an article about a friendly rivalry between two co-workers as to whether going to a lake or the beach in NE is best.The one friend decides to take the other for a day at the beach, & where do they go? Good Harbor, of course!The article is titled ‘Wading In’ – & has pictures of Good Harbor & a description of all that’s’ ‘good’ about it.
Fun reading & another shout-out to Gloucester.

Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrom
An alarming amount of people in the United States currently suffer from Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome and don’t even know it! As the name suggests, this syndrome is a condition where an individual produces a lower amount of cannabinoids than experts consider to be essential in the promotion of health, vitality, and well-being. This deficiency can leave people susceptible to chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, Anorexia, Depression, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, chronic migraines, Multiple Sclerosis, PTSD, Neuropathy, Huntington’s Disease, and Parkinson’s Disease, to name a few. However, by supplementing CBD, we now have a way to prevent and counteract these ailments! Please come by and chat with us about it and take advantage of our free samples!

Deck Weather
Deck weather is always better than sweater weather. I was so happy to enjoy a couple of hours at 51 Rocky Neck on Saturday. The Hugo Spritz is, for the record, delicious.

Margarita Monday at Saltwater Grille
We happily returned to Saltwater Grille on Washington St mostly because I was longing for the Washington St Salad. It was as delicious as I remembered. It happened to be Margarita Monday so I ordered a raspberry margarita. I appreciated that I could actually taste the raspberry in it and it was very refreshing. Jim enjoyed his Half Moon Salad. We chatted with friends around the bar and it was a delightfully relaxing Margarita Monday! Thanks, Saltwater Grille!

Gloucester Rotary Comedy Show
~ trixy546
Tickets are now available to the annual Gloucester Rotary Comedy Night, featuring Ken Rogerson, Artie Januario, Sam Pelletier, and Boston’s Dave Rattigan on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at Cruiseport Gloucester, located at 6 Rowe Square on Gloucester’s harborfront. Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm.
Don’t miss this evening of fun and laughter! Tickets are $30 each, and are available online at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/comedy2025/event/glouceserrotarycomedyshow2025/ or contact Mark Vadala (978-490-0939).
Ken Rogerson, the funniest man you’ve never heard of, has performed on the nationwide “Rescue Me Comedy Tour” with Denis Leary, and made television appearances on such shows as NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Late Show with David Letterman, Comics Come Home for Comedy Central and Showtime’s A Pair of Jokers and more. Rogerson has also appeared at The Chicago Comedy Festival and TBS’s The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas. The Boston Herald proclaimed, “He makes the absurd seem logical” and Las Vegas Magazine wrote, “As far as pure stand-up goes, it doesn’t get any better than Rogerson.”
Artie Januario (aka Artie J.) has spent 10 years living a double life as a pharmacist and one of Boston’s premier comedians. He has been selected to perform at Denis Leary’s prestigious annual Comics Come Home concert, the longest running comedy benefit show in the United States, which has raised more than $4 million for the Cam Neely Foundation, which aids cancer patients and their families during treatment. He’s traveled the country, performing all over New England as well as in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and is a favorite for fundraisers and corporate events. Among the acts he’s worked with: Dom Irrera, Brian Regan, Jeff Dunham, and Lenny Clarke.
Sam Pelletier has been bringing his unique blend of observation and relatability to audiences for over a decade. Originally from the (somewhat) great state of Maine, Sam won the Cellar on Treadwell Competition in 2023, and was a finalist in the New England’s Funniest Comedian Competition of 2021. He opened for national headliners including Shane Torres, Joe Bartnick, and Alex Edleman. Sam has been featured in the Boston Comedy Festival, Maine Comedy Festival, and Mutiny Radio Comedy Festival in San Francisco. His hobbies include hiking and being a good listener.
Host Dave Rattigan had summer plans included performances in Ireland (for the second time), as well as at the Hampton Beach (NH) Comedy Festival and the inaugural Cotuit (MA) Comedy Festival. In addition to standup, he’s had humorous columns published in The Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, North Shore Magazine and North Shore Sunday, and has acted in regional TV commercials and small independent films “that didn’t pay anything.”
(This event always sells out!!)
