The LobstahCrackah Ballet: Revenge of the Gull King ~ December 29- January 14

Posted on by Joanne

Definitely not your mama’s Nutcrackah! Appropriate for all ages!

In this unique spin, the Gull King will overcome the LobstahCrackah Prince and kidnap Clarafied Buttah, taking her away to Lobstahland where he steals the magic scepter and throne of the queen, The Shrimp Cocktail Fairy. Meanwhile, Uncle Drawsum Buttah has transformed the LobstahCrackah back into a prince, who returns to Lobstahland disguised as a squid to save the day. Dancing turbines, mermaids, jelly fish, and whales… oh my! Come experience the magic for the last time.

Posted on by Nichole S.

As my car dashboard read 19 degrees and my dogs could only handle a 15 minute walk before their paws got too cold, I drove by these guys working on a roof in Rockport. Yikes!  Kudos to them!

A boat is as good as anything

Posted on by Pat D

“If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most. A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble.”  E.B. White.  I couldn’t say it any better.
