SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR CAPE ANN IN 2020. Order a Cape Ann License Plate!
Because you stepped up and ordered a Cape Ann License Plate in 2019 you helped the Cape Ann Comminity Foundation to award grants totaling $15,000 to six Cape Ann area non-profits, Cape Ann Art Haven, The Sunrise Foundation, Education Foundation for Rockport, Generous Gardeners, Pathways for Children and Windhover Performing Arts Center. These grants helped to deliver art programs to low income elementary students, provide scholarships for addiction and sober living, a community observatory for Rockport, renovation of the Betty Smith Garden on Stacey Boulevard, enrichment activities for low income students at Pathways and the Windhover’s Mini Dance Festival. When you order a plate at Lovecapeann.com the proceeds from the plate fund the Cape Ann Community Foundation, not only for the first year but every two years when you renew. By ordering a plate in 2020 you will help the Foundation make more grants that enrich the Cape Ann Community.
It is easy to give the gift of a Cape Ann License Plate. All you need is:
Driver’s License
Vehicle Registration
Credit Card
If you are unsure of how to order a plate we are always available to help you at the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce.
If you already have a special plate, low number plate or leased vehicle please support the mission of the Cape Ann Community Foundation by sending a check to the foundation at 33 Commercial Street, Gloucester, MA 0l930 #capeannarthaven #the sunrisefoundation #generousgardener #pathwaysforchildren #windhover #educationfoundationofrockport

2020: Celebrating the New Year and Expressing Gratitude … Gloucester-style
New Year’s Day began with a ‘walk of good intentions.’ Blessed with sunshine and mild temperatures on Cape Ann, friends and strangers came together for a walk in Dogtown. We hiked to Whale’s jaw. A piece of the Whale’s jaw boulder broke off in 1989, but Whales Jaw still stands as it has for over ten thousand years. Standing as a reminder of strength, resiliency and endurance, and symbolic of Gloucester’s fishermen and women. There, we celebrated the new year with a guided meditation and sharing good intentions of gratitude, tolerance and peace.
With Gratitude. Thank you to Jimmy and Laurel for extending their annual New Year’s walk to this community event, to Wendy for her soulful guided meditation, for the all those who came out for the walk and their positive energy, and to Laura, for the beautiful space to gather! One sentiment shared by the the group was the hope that…

What do all the fans of NFL teams that don’t make it into the postseason do during the playoffs? Get together in a recording studio and sing about it, of course. Consider it music therapy. #NFLFanTherapy

Nichole’s Picks 1/4 + 1/5
Pick #1: Dinosaur Adventure
Do you have a dinosaur lover in the family? I’m guessing that, if you do, this is a not-to-be-missed event!
Event Description
Dinosaur Adventure is an all new, one of a kind exhibit featuring realistic, life-sized dinosaurs that come alive with their life-like movement and roars. Learn about the most popular dinosaurs -Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Velociraptor, and explore recent finds with exciting discoveries!
As part of the Dinosaur Adventure, children of all ages will enjoy a variety of activities: fossil crafting, Jurassic jeeps, themed obstacle courses, riding their favorite dinosaur, and more! The whole family will also be amused by our live entertainment, a walking dinosaur show, and a baby dinosaur meet & greet.
Friday, January 3rd

Saturday, January 4th
9:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Sunday, January 5th
9:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Pick #2: New Year’s Resolution Scavenger Hunt
Stevens-Coolidge Place, Andover
Stop by The Stevens-Coolidge Place from Monday, December 30 to Sunday, January 12 to get a jump start on those 2020 resolutions!
Just inside the white gate at the front door of the the house, you’ll find a scavenger hunt list on the brick patio to get you started exploring all that 2020 has to offer. On the sheet, you’ll find a list of 15 common resolutions, turned into a call to action that will take you through the property. Borrow one and find what’s in store for you in the new year! This activity is suitable for all ages and is best completed in groups of 2 or more. Get outside and explore this winter!
This is a drop-in event. No registration necessary.
Pick #3: Go Ice Skating!
Gloucester’s own Talbot Rink at O’Malley Middle School has open skate available on the weekend’s. I believe it is offered from 2:00-4:00 on both Saturdays and Sundays. A full schedule is available at the link below. Check it out so that you can also take in a hockey game while you’re at it!
http://www.gloucesterschools.com/talbot-rink
If you are looking for a way to make a day of your skating adventures, check out this handy Boston Ice Rink guide from Boston Central:
https://www.bostoncentral.com/activities/skate.php
One of Boston’s newest rinks is The Rink at 401 Park in the Fenway neighborhood. If you ask me a day of outdoor skating and lunch, shopping, site seeing in the city is a perfect way to spend a mild winter day.

Happy Birthday Philip Jr.!
I hope I’m not giving away any secrets, but the first baby born at Addison Gilbert in 1950 was announced on the front page of the paper that year. January 1 was a Sunday that year and Monday must have been the holiday because the first paper available on microfilm at Sawyer Free Library was Tuesday Jan 3 1959. Four sets of twins born the previous year! First baby of the year news is still celebrated 70 years later.
Good Morning Gloucester
