Hi there

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads who care for and comfort their kids-and all those who give support when others cannot. Many of us have dads of the heart,and they are truly as special. So give thanks with food and memories and whatever you choose as a prayer, for those who care and nurture.

You'll find the Georgetown Working League at the North End of the Park, selling tickets for their legendary quilt raffle, scheduled for August 10. They'll be here most weeks til then Check out the center panel they brought along ; their quilts are always beautiful and well crafted and go to support the people of Georgetown.

Remember, our July 6 Market again relocates to the parking lot at BIW on the river, back behind the Riverside Pub. Same hours, same great vendors, lots of parking. More info to come in the next few weeks. or email me at the address below.

Hahns End has a 30 month wheel of City of Ships right now-grab some and grate it on just about anything-good stuff,.

From Tracy at Pemaquid Lobster & Seafood "We are running a Father's Day special, offering Scallop Casseroles two for $20. That is a savings of $5 on two. It's a quick and easy meal idea. Many of our customers serve it over rice or pasta."

Start with soy sauce and bourbon. Mix with a bit of apple cider vinegar, chopped garlic and ginger, salt and red pepper flakes. marinate 1-5 days. Grill and be happy.I
