If you haven’t got down to see it yet you really ought to. Its right next to the police station. (If you have any outstanding warrants for arrest you might want to wear a disguise) I can’t believe how tall it is, and it is covered with buoys hand painted by the kids at Art Haven. The whole thing is just beautiful. Art Haven Video Part II at 9:00AM

What a fantastic job Jeff Worthley, David Brooks and the kids from Art Haven and anyone else that I don’t know that should get recognition did on the tree. It is the absolute most beautiful one yet! Gorgeous!
Ya think they have anything this cool in Anytown, or Plainsville USA? No freakin way! This is another reason Gloucester Rocks!

From Jeff Worthley-
On Saturday, December 13th, at 4 pm the community will gather to light the Lobster Trap Tree at the Gloucester Police Station Plaza (Main Street).
This year’s tree, believed to be the world’s largest Lobster Trap Tree consists of over 300 traps which have been loaned by a half dozen Gloucester lobstermen.
The tree will be adorned with over 50 buoys, donated by Winchester Fishing, which will be painted by children at Art Haven on Friday afternoon and Saturday during the day.
The tree lighting ceremony will feature music provided by DJ Scotti Mac, caroling, Santa’s arrival and the lighting of the tree.
The 300 traps were moved by Tally’s Trucking Service and Earth Works where a half dozen volunteers have labored for the past two weeks building the tree and stringing the lights
This year marks the ninth time the Lobster Trap Tree has been built and stands taller than ever.
This year’s celebration is sponsored by BankGloucester, which is opening their renovated building to the public on the same day.
I saw Jeff Worthley last night. He said the buoys were going on today and the lights the next day.
