The Bluefin Blowout Raised $366,050 for The Alzheimer’s Association!

Posted on by Nichole S.

$366,050. Knowing how passionate and dedicated they are…and knowing they won’t stop until there’s a cure… I guess I shouldn’t be surprised….but, yet I was. This group….this amazing and determined group….supported, celebrated, and loved by so many generous friends, sponsors, captains/crews, advertisers, and family members…. knocked it completely out of the park.

Last night, gathered at the Beauport Hotel, the Lyon-Waugh Auto Group presented a check to the Alzheimer’s Association.

With their massive efforts and unyielding generosity (both theirs and that of those who support them) they managed to raise a surreal $366,050 during this year’s Bluefin Blowout to help #endalz. That’s more than half a million in just two years alone….not to mention the six previous tournaments! I am forever, completely in awe of what they do and by the support that others give to them. Those who give gather. These people could move mountains.

Rick and my 35th anniversary at Gloucester’s spectacular Beauport Hotel

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

What can we say about this jewel in Gloucester.  From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, our experience was stellar.  The staff was attentive, polite, pleasant and happy to have us there.  Our room was outstanding with a view that took our breath away with a lovely balcony.  The heated pool and hot tub on the rooftop is incredible.  The staff on the rooftop were always making sure the tables and chairs were clean.  There were plenty of towels and our lunch on the rooftop was delicious.  The pool was so wonderful and very calming.  The conversations on the pool rooftop with other guests were inspiring from newly weds to families.  Also during our fun afternoon on at the pool, the staff came around with free ice cream sandwiches. When we got back to our room there was a box of chocolates with a lovely Anniversary card for Rick and I.  After taking a wonderful shower we went to dinner and had a great meal again with stellar service.  Coming back to room we noticed that the towels were all changed without us having to need to ask for extra towels.  The beautiful sunset at the end of the evening was just what two busy people needed.  After a great night’s sleep we went down to the breakfast buffet and again not disappointed with the food, staff and view.  Visiting the gift shop with Kathy was so nice.  They have great gifts and treasures.  Here is some photos of our time at the Beauport Hotel.  I would like to thank this wonderful hotel and staff for such a wonderful stay.

Hammond Castle – I hope that one day the Trustees and Historic New England add this as a shared property among their preservation jewels, along with the Natalie Hammond property and much of the parents’ estate, Lookout Hill, with some portion of admission for the City. At one point Hammond Castle was one of the top attractions in Massachusetts.

Bird’s eye video | crowd joins #Adventureman Jamie McDonald finish in Gloucester Massachusetts March 27, 2019

Posted on by Catherine

Congratulations to Jamie McDonald, aka Adventureman, for his momentous, inspiring solo-run achievement across America~ And to his team! Little kids in the crowd sported red capes. GMG photographers are out in full force so great coverage will be coming like it’s St. Peter’s Fiesta.

Aerial no filter straight up phone video from rooftops across Gloucester Harbor. It was heartwarming to hear voices carry — from this height and battling wind–, to see the crowd stream past, pause by the Leonard Craske FisherMan at the Wheel memorial, then off to Pavilion beach by Beauport Hotel (site of former Birdseye factory) so Jamie could touch the water and conclude his generous journey.
