Gloucester Blogapalooza

A quick heads up for any local Gloucester / Cape Ann readers - get involved with the first ever Gloucester Blogapalooza!

Tonight (Tuesday, June 9th) at 6:30pm, anyone who blogs, or reads blogs here on Cape Ann please come join the fun for and enjoy some brew and socialization at the Cape Ann Brewing Co.

Cheers & stay going.
