My View of Life on the Dock
Hpapy Independence Day! The Manchester by the Sea 2019 parade featured sports cars, vintage bikes, team floats, music floats, and militia and minutemen companies. Following the parade, parachute jumpers aimed for the X on the turf field.
Hpapy Independence Day! Another beautiful day for parades on Cape Ann: Manchester by the Sea featured sports cars, vintage bikes, team floats, music floats, and militia and minutemen companies. Following the parade, parachute jumpers aim for the X back on the turf field.
Rockport’s Annual 4th of July bonfire is pretty special. We almost didn’t go this year. I’m glad we decided to stick with tradition and keep the party bus rolling.
Thank you to the firefighters who helped keep the towering flames in check to keep everyone safe!
Missing a part of the horribles parade…will try to correct later….
Small dragon comes out of the outhouse. Becomes much bigger and rids Rockport of arm hair.

Get a front row seat for Gloucester’s Horribles Parade broadcast LIVE for the first time on Facebook. The special coverage will be cohosted by Kory, owner of the Bridge Cape Ann, and Pauline Bresnahan, owner of Pauline’s Gifts, from a booth above the parade at lovely Gloucester Tavern on the Harbor and boulevard. Suprise guests and special reporters from along the parade route will join in with the emcees.
A great way to spend the 4th is in Gloucester Harbor hop-on-hop-off water shuttle operated by Cape Ann Harbor Tours.
The Rockport Firemen’s 4th of July Parade is always pretty reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell scene. If you’re looking for a big parade with giant floats…this is not for you. But if you love quaint and old-fashioned it is the ticket.
A fun night!!
Awesome job all you Horribles!

It’s always amazing to drive around town the morning of the Fish Town Horribles Parade and see all the empty chairs and decorations! All of these shots were taken with my iPhone while fighting through traffic to drop off stuff at our GMG party corner. So this one is for all those folks who are not home, or moved out of town, enjoy! Now stop by the GMG tent and party with us!!!
Part 2 tomorrow…
For all you proud Americans, this is another video I just completed for STIHL. I always enjoy working with everyone at this amazing company, but getting a chance to put Real-STIHL factory workers into this project was truly special. Even if you have never owned a chainsaw, or know what an American built STIHL product looks like, you’ll enjoy this! (click the gear on lower right for HD video)
