We are also offering several paid opportunities to manage performance venues.  The openings are described at https://rockportnye.org/help-us-2024

Certain Colors Are Selling Out of Our Soft, Coozy Fleece Lined Mens Beanies and Women’s Pom Beanies- order yours online today

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Link to order: Gloucester Apparel Website

There are plenty of knit caps out there. There aren’t many that have the fleece lining which is a total game changer. The fleece is so soft and keeps you so warm. Once you try one of these on, it renders all other fall/winter caps inferior. Buy three at once I’ll put in a free one for you. Mix and match. These are perfect for you, your family and for gifts.

Available at 44 Main St or at these links-
