Sharing some news and reviews from David Calvo: “David,  Tom and I had the greatest time in your class! Thank you for an immersive week where we learned an incredible amount! I can’t believe we could carve a fleur de lis by the end of the class! I being a true beginner have definitely picked up a new hobby. We especially enjoyed your sense of humor, step by step teaching methods and getting to know our wonderful fellow classmates. I needed to clear my head and I actually thought and dreamed of nothing but carving for 5 days. Bravo, David! We can’t wait to come back next year for the intermediate class. Oh, and I loved all your playlists! Fantastic music.    _ Gabriela Capitanio Pennsylvania”

Block Party #1 2026, July 11th

Among the many fine events organized by the St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee, the Sunday procession is near the top of my favorites. We see so many familiar faces passing us during the procession and it hails back to traditions refined over the last 99 years. It’s such a warm feeling. This year, there were a number of floats which seemed to make many of the spectators very pleased. The procession is a well organized, well run event and Gloucester should be proud. Here are some of the images I collected.

Here are some additional pictures from the semi final Junior Men’s Seine Boat race held yesterday morning under foggy conditions. There was an enthusiastic crowd on the beach for the race. The community and all parents should be quite proud especially of the Young Guns for graciously acknowledging the efforts of their competitors.

As you have heard, the fog was very heavy throughout the Greasy Pole walk last night but the Champions Walk is always extra fun for people like me. I like hearing the names of the previous winners and remembering those walks as we wait for the next walker. The photos are hampered by the conditions but the joy was as apparent as could be! Congratulations to all the walkers, especially Derek who is a force to reckon with.

We went to The Lobster on East Main St to check out the margaritas. I asked for a recommendation and a raspberry coconut margarita was suggested. I am not normally a coconut fan but I went with the bartender’s suggestion. Superb taste! The margarita tasted a little sweeter than I was expecting but I loved it. Also, just FYI, the key lime pie there is nothing to sleep on. I should probably not be sharing how delicious it is because I want to order it every time I go. But you readers deserve to know…….

I believe I had that…

The Junior Men’s Seine Boat semi-finals had to be rescheduled for this morning due to conditions last night in order to determine which team would participate against Tonno and Warri-oars tonight. Young Guns won decisively although it was still fairly foggy this morning at the site. **Turns out niether of the Men’s Championship races could be held tonight due to heavy fog and are rescheduled to tomorrow Monday 5 PM Pavilion Beach** Congratulations Young Guns. We look forward to tomorrow’s race.

The conditions were dreadful and you can barely see the shadow of Derek’s walk out to the flag in the second competitive round of tonight’s Greasy Pole contest. But once again, Derek brought home the flag to the pure delight of the crowd in attendance. More photos tomorrow.

**Both seine boat race championships are postponed to Monday 5 PM due to the foggy conditions** See you again on Pavilion Beach tomorrow night!
