Net proceeds will be donated to The Gloucester Fund earmarked for downtown
revitalization. The Gloucester Fund will award grants based on input from the
public. Beginning next week, anyone can nominate an existing project or charity
dedicated to revitalizing downtown Gloucester. Go to CelebrateGloucester.com and
