Race Boat Haul Out
The IDRC is planning to haul out the race boats this Sunday, December 12th, 2021 at 8 AM and we need your help. Give us an hour or two to haul and flip the dories on the dock at Maritime Gloucester. We will temporarily store the dories there until we can find a permanent home. No trailers or towing for now, just lend a hand to move the dories.
Hope to see you all there!

How about a warm blanket with one of my photos on them. They are warm and cozy, here is example of one of my favorites.
I will be at the Elks Craft Show on Sunday, December 12, 2021 and you can go also see these blankets at Arts Abound at 21 C Lexington Avenue, Magnolia, Gloucester, MA.
Thank you again for shopping local.

A great event to be able to shop local. Another good reason to come out to shop on Sunday at the Elks, It is a bi week for the Patriots, so no excuse not to shop local.
