Participants will meet young men and women working for the Cape Ann Museum, the Hive, Maritime Gloucester and Trident Gallery. Curators, educators and administrators will recount the journeys that led them to their current positions, take questions from the audience, then split off into small groups for discussion and specialized consultations. For high school students curious about educational directions and college students wondering about what kinds of jobs are out there, this informational program is a great place to begin. Admission is free for students—all you need to bring is a collaborative spirit and career-minded questions.

TONIGHT! Backyard Growers’ Annual Seed Swap – Free and Open to the Public

IMG_1845

Looking to spice up your garden this year without breaking the bank? Have some extra seed packets lying around? Then the Backyard Growers Annual Seed Swap is for you!

For the meager price of your seed leftovers, you can walk away with a plethora of new seeds beyond your wildest garden dreams! You probably didn’t want all 35 of those tomato seeds anyway…swap the rest!

The idea is simple: bins for each type of vegetable will be arranged and labeled. Simply drop your seed offering into the correct bin (labelled seeds please!), then start browsing. If you find some seeds you like, pour as many as you will use into provided envelopes (Don’t forget to label them! Your future self will thank you!).

Also available will be guides and demos for starting your seeds indoors (a must for tomatoes, eggplant and peppers).

Seed swap will be held TONIGHT Thursday 2/25 from 6-8 at 269 Main Street, just two doors down from Alexandra’s Bread!

Hi Joey,

This Sunday, February 28, there is a wonderful opportunity for parents to bring their kids out for an afternoon of folk dancing and singing to live fiddle, guitar and accordion music.

The fun will be happening from 2:00 to 5:00 at the Gloucester UU Church. The entrance is at 10 Church Street and families are welcome to come and go throughout the afternoon.

As always, thanks!

Cape Ann once held several Summer Program Fairs, but all of them have folded in the past years. We decided to replace that niche in our community and are excited to spread the word to Cape Ann about the offerings of many local organizations!
The previous poster was incorrect. Attached is the correct poster. Please contact us at your convenience if you have any questions, or have ideas of any other venues we can outreach to inform the public of this great event. 

Thanks, Clay Kern
