Deadliest Catch Gloucester Fundraiser Update!

Hey Joey –

Just wanted to update you and the GMG readers about Monday’s fundraiser to benefit Gloucester Little League featuring Andy & Jonathan Hillstrand from the Time Bandit.

My phone is ringing off the hook today with people calling looking to see if we still have tickets.  The calls are coming from all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine.  The event was covered in the Herald today and we expect a feature story in The Beacon tomorrow.  I am hopeful that this event will be a sell-out, as was last year’s event featuring Sig Hansen.

People from “over the bridge” will have to buy their tickets at the door or come to Gloucester to get the tickets in advance.  Locals who want to attend the event should purchase their tickets at Jeff’s Variety in the next few days to assure that are guaranteed admission to the event.

Looking forward to seeing everybody there for a fun evening.

Plum Cove Playground Project Update From Kristin Michel

Hey Joe –

I wanted to update you with a photo taken this morning from the Plum Cove playground site.  The site work has begun and it won’t be long now before we have our new playground.  We are hoping to have it close to complete for the open house at the end of the month.  Keep your fingers crossed.  We have a good amount of work to do and all of the landscaping is being done by a few very dedicated parent volunteers.  We will be replacing several trees and shrubs as well as perennial plantings.  The icing on the cake would be a freshly painted sign, but don’t know if we will have the time to get that far before school starts.  We will continue to shoot for the moon!

“Hey Joe –

What do you make of this furniture? I was in Maine visiting my in-laws and just had to stop and take a picture for you. Believe it or not, the chairs are much more comfortable than they look!
