My View of Life on the Dock
If you haven’t sat at the Beauport’s 1606 Oyster Bar and enjoyed a conversation with AC, you really should. Personality plus and an enthusiasm for well-crafted cocktails….hanging out with him is always an adventure. And, then there’s the view. Disclaimer….only one of the photographed drinks was mine. Just sayin’.
I met up with Joey at the 1606 Oyster Bar at the Beauport Hotel yesterday and treated myself to an Irish Coffee as created and served by Legendary Irishman AC with a side of entertaining stories. Perfection. Hit the spot with the Bailey’s topper!
I set the original number of entries at 64 because I wanted to set up March Madness style brackets. We filled 64 entries within 3 hours and despite trying to post and alert people that the field of 64 was full, the entries just kept pouring in. There are 40+ more entries that came in overnight. So we’re going to re-open the entry period and expand the field.
Please read how we’re gonna do it.
Firstly if people have several dogs, either pick one dog of your multiple dogs or submit one photo with all of them in it.
I will accept entries through midnight tonight.
We will have an vote-in pre-contest in which all the dog photos will be entered and the top 64 vote getters will move on to the March Madness style bracket tournament.
So if we have 150 entries by midnight tonight, I will post them all in a gallery with their names and a poll beneath them. The top vote getters move on. In the case of ties of number of votes at the bottom of the list, the brackets will be filled in order of when their dog’s entry was sent in.
First prize $250 SeaPort Vet Gift Certificate and $250 Cape Ann Gift Certificate, Second Prize $150 SeaPort Vet Gift Certificate and $150 Cape Ann Gift Certificate, Third Prize $100 SeaPort Vet Gift Certificate and $100 Cape Ann Gift Certificate
It’s simple to enter.
Submit a photo of your dog, dog’s name and owner’s name to goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com
Write Dog Contest in the subject line.
That’s it!
Deadline to enter is tonight.
Fun!!!!

Pick your color. Blue, white, yellow. My son thought it would be fun several years ago to conduct his yearly science experiment on which color trap “caught” the most lobsters. Too many other factors and not enough relatable data, but a good idea if we had more time and resources.
Good Morning Gloucester
