August UPDATE from Patricia & Ken
August brings us into peak visitor and summertime fun season.
A quick look back at July – it was hot and bit wet, but that did
not deter our visitors, as most of the area’s beaches, attractions,
restaurants and accommodations were at capacity. Our two
BIG events in July – 1st Block Party and 31st Annual Love Cape
Ann Fundraising Auction, were well attended and a lot of fun. At
the Block Party we saw record numbers of visitors and locals alike
on “the (Main) street”, enjoying sights, sounds, and eats. The
auction was well attended with over 200 guests experiencing the
best that Cape Ann has to offer, and featured many new and
exciting elements including exotic trips on: the Star Clippers –
sailing in the Caribbean, Tuscany and a South Africa Photo Sa-
fari. Our featured artists included Robert Gruppe, Ken Knowles,
Sam Nigro, John Terelak, and Carol Loiacono, and we had well
over 300 wonderful donations of all types and sizes from our
many members and supporters. Stay tuned for many more items
that we held back for an Online Auction in October.
Looking forward, we are in full summertime events mode. Gloucester’s Downtown Association brings us
the 60th annual edition of the Sidewalk Bazaar August 2-4, and festival season kicks off in Manchester with
Festival by the Sea on Saturday, August 4, featuring over 100 artisans, great music and food. Country Fest is
also happening that same day at Stage Fort Park. The following weekend, August 11, features Block Party
#2 and the Gloucester Blues Festival, now in its 7th Year; Rockport Rotary Club’s Lobsterfest and Rockport’s
annual summer fireworks display also take place on August 11. The third weekend, August 18 & 19 showcas-
es the largest event on Cape Ann, Gloucester’s Waterfront Festival, featuring lobsters on Saturday! And we
end the summer with the finale of our 3rd Block Party on Friday August 31, to coincide with the now iconic
Schooner Festival over Labor Day weekend.
And the Cape Ann Community Foundation is thrilled to announce the Online Auction of the low number
Cape Ann License Plates. That’s right, numbers 1 – 100 are going to be up for sale; this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity for you to have a coveted low number. The plate beautifully depicts our four Cape Ann com-
munities of Essex, Gloucester, Manchester and Rockport. Your
contribution is tax deductible, and proceeds go back to the
Cape Ann non-profits through grants managed by the Cape
Ann Community Foundation. Show your love and pride of
Cape Ann every day and go to LoveCapeAnn.com to bid on

Jean Grobe from Connections Adventure Travel
Jean Grobe from Connections Adventure Travel is a 30 year
resident of Gloucester with extensive travel experience. Her philoso-
phy is similar to that of the late, great Anthony Bourdain who said “If
I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much
as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent
to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their
food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch.
Move.” The trips planned by Connections Adventure Travel will have
you coming home and immediately planning your next adventure.
Connections Adventure Travel is a full-service agency special-
izing in unique experiences around the world. Sailing, Biking, Hiking
and Health and Wellness are a primary focus. Jean’s experience and
connections will make sure you have the kind of trip that you can’t
stop talking about.
Connections’ current focus is on sailing vacations that are
wonderful for Caribbean winter escapes and exploring Europe and
Asia. Relax in luxury on a four or five-masted tall ship. Hoist the sails,
work on the bridge with the Captain or just relax and explore each
fascinating port.
Interested in food, wine, culture in Southern France, Tuscany
and northern Italy? We can customize a trip for a small group that
will showcase the best of Europe off the beaten path. Is cycling your
thing but not your partner’s? We can customize a trip that will
accommodat everyone.
Let’s talk soon about travel! Jean Grobe, Connections Adventure Travel, 617-803-6325.

Kimberly Voltero from Plug-In Cape Ann Tours
Plug-In Cape Ann Tours began in July 2017 with a vision to ex-
pose visitors to the history, local lore and beautiful places often missed
by both tourists and long-time visitors. The proprietor, Kimberly Voltero,
is a long time Gloucester lover, having vacationed here as a child, liv-
ing and owning a storefront on Bearskin Neck, and returning to live at
her home near Good Harbor, after living in Paris for 10 years to work-
ing at Microsoft worldwide marketing. With a dream to own a hotel
by the beach, she volunteered one summer at the Chambers visitor
center, and was surprised by all the history and touristic opportunities
missed living and visiting here all those years. With a tendency for seasickness, and an entrepreneurial spirit,
she purchased a retired CATA bus, got officially licensed in 2017, hired some local guides, and Plugged into
the tourism community.
The 14-passenger bus parks daily on Stacy Boulevard from April until November. Guests often say
they lived here all their life and had no idea or “wish we took the tour at the beginning of our trip”!
Reservations are REQUIRED, but last-minute calls are welcome.
• The Best of Gloucester Tour. Scenic tour around the harbor, backshore and downtown. For those
with limited time to “see it all”. Daily 1 hr. tour at 10 am or 4 pm.
• Lighthouses, Beaches and More. Scenic 17-mile tour around Cape Ann, picking up in Rockport,
The Paper House, Plum Cove Beach, Stage Fort Park. Perfect for those without a car, a 2 hr. tour, 3x
per week.
• Historic Home Hopper Tour. Beauport Sleeper McCann House or The Sargent House with sightings
and stories of Hopper Houses and movie locations. 2 hr. tour, 5x per week.
• The Art of Cape Ann Tour. Meet the Artists in their Studios, nestled in villages, for shoppers,
creatives and HGTV lovers. Weekends, picking up at the MBTA.
SPECIAL OFFER for Chamber members– Buy one scheduled tour ticket, get the 2nd one FREE. Customize
your own tour – great for company outings, special occasions or groups looking for a safe ride to visit local
artisans, breweries, distilleries, historic, famous and other fun places.
Kimberly loves to collaborate, currently looking for businesses to resell or bundle tours, and partner-
ships that create new visitor opportunities. Contact 978-381-0813 or www.plugintours.com.

they’re looking for interested partners,

committed to working with Cape Ann and
North Shore businesses and individuals who
are dedicated to and interested in the
following: renewable energy, carbon se-
questration, weatherization (for businesses,
homes, nonprofits), electric vehicles, en-
ergy efficient appliances, and sustainable
eating and food services. If you or you busi-
ness can benefit from our fair, we’d love to

ners like you for our cause (no cost for the

The mission of TownGreen2025 is to cre-
ate a carbon footprint for Gloucester and
Cape Ann that is as low as possible. We
believe Cape Ann can become a model
of how one can achieve clean energy and
a sustainable community in a decade. This
is something we owe our children and our
planet.
Our developing ten-year plan is multifacet-
ed, and includes efforts to improve efficien-
cies in energy use, increase the number of
PV solar systems on homes and businesses,
develop collective solar farms, and ex-
plore additional clean energy options such
as offshore wind farms and tidal energy
systems. We will support carbon sequestra-
tion (the absorption of carbon dioxide by
trees) through our partner, Reforest The
Tropics, which uses a unique and power-
ful replanting of tropical forests in Costa
Rica. And lastly we will address the need for
continuing education in multiple areas of
sustainability by developing a K-12 climate
change education program, which can be
integrated into the existing curricula of the
local schools.
