Something I’ve never seen, nor have many alive today: the launching of a Pinky Schooner. Harold Burnham and crew built the wooden ship Ardelle over the last several months and today she floats. See the launch …

Gloucester MA’s Horribles Parade. Usually the night before the 4th, followed by fireworks. Doesn’ get more patriotic than this.

Fireworks Schedules
Locally, many communities on the North Shore schedule their fireworks and parades on July 3, 2011. Did I just say parade? Always a fabulous prelude to the fireworks, many of our local communities have Horribles Parades as well. What is a “Horribles Parade” you may ask? Well, it is pretty much a parade for the people by the people!!! It is usually humorous, the more unsophisticated the better, opinionated and features homemade floats and costumes. Those parade schedules are below as well.

Friday is Earth Day and there’s lots going on this weekend including free concerts on Boston Common and at the Cape Ann Brewery here in Gloucester. Saturday many of us will be meeting at Stage Fort Park to help clean up the litter that has accumulated over the winter. (Some “blown” some littered on purpose. Don’t get me started!) Starting at 9AM or so you can show up, pick up trash bags and then pick up trash. I’ll be grabbing bags and going back to my own neighborhood near the high school. Check out GoodMorningGloucester for more info on these events. Hope to see you there!

No, it’s not something you light up. It’s like fog on the harbor but not nearly as “lofty”. Take a look at the video.

Today saw the running of the first annual 7 mile Run Gloucester! road race. Over 1000 runners were expected including some with world class stature. Organizer Dave McGillivray of DMSE Sports is well known for staging well run events (pun intended!). Saucony, Gloucester Times, Dunkin Donuts and others sponsored and proceeds go to Gloucester Fisherman Athletic Association.

We love Independence Day and our horribles parade here in Gloucester MA. Every 3rd of July starting early in the morning people are setting up the concert stage on the Boulevard, getting the hot dogs and balloons ready putting the last minute touches on the floats and staking out their territory for good parade seats along the route.

Patty’s folks started the tradition when she was a little kid: making peach ice cream from scratch on or about the 4th of July. 4 or 5 years ago, we went looking for “the gear”. Google helped us find the White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer, complete with electric motor. So about $300 later (the motor was more half the cost but worth it) we were ready, or so we thought. One of the key, and I mean KEY ingredients is rock salt. Yup. Rock salt. Read More→
