The Happy Humpback is reopening, so glad to have them back

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

We’re Reopening!
Hello there! Aaron has spent the last five weeks recovering from a rare and deadly form of bacterial meningitis. He continues to deal with some of the effects of his severe brain and blood infection, but has come a very long way, so we will be reopening this Saturday, August 5th!

In order to allow Aaron more opportunities to continue his recovery, we will now be open Wednesday through Sunday. As a result, our double points will now be offered on Wednesdays since we will be closed on Tuesdays. If you haven’t already, you can sign up for our loyalty program here.

Update On the New Information Kiosks Downtown

Posted on by Pat D

Since I recently posted about the digital information kiosks downtown, they have been updated with a new outer shell. It’s like they got a new wardrobe. They stand near the parking kiosks like prim older relatives. Actually, they are sleek and very modern. Check out the original post here if you missed it. Here’s the one along Rogers St near the Greater Cape Ann Chamber.

Dick Wilson Scholarship please share

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The GFAA would like to announce to the community that we have allocated funds to start a scholarship in memory of our founder and friend, Dick Wilson.

Dick passed away in July 2023.  He was a believer in doing what he called “good-ness” and made a difference with his philanthropy and volunteerism in countless ways in the community.  The hallmark of Dick’s life was doing good deeds, big and small, and he made Gloucester better along the way.  He had a knack for seeing a problem, coming up with an idea on how to fix it, and getting people to help him make it happen.  He was an inspiration to many and had a profound impact on Gloucester and the people that call Gloucester home.

We would like to offer a scholarship to a graduating high school senior.  The amount will be determined annually.  Half of the scholarship will be for the recipient to get started in their next chapter and half of the scholarship will be for the recipient to use to do “good-ness” in Gloucester.

Dick wasn’t a big fan of a lot of paperwork or a lot of rules, so we are going to honor that with this scholarship.  More details will be shared during the upcoming school year.

If you would like to make a contribution to the scholarship, checks can be mailed to

GFAA, attn: Scholarship, PO Box 3010, Gloucester, MA 01930
