The 91st St. Peter's Fiesta wrapped up Sunday night here in Gloucester. The intense heat may have kept some of the crowds away but didn't stop us in the local Sicilian-American community from living it up like we've been doing every year since 1927.

My dad, who you may remember works for Gorton's came to the rescue with a package of one of their newer products:... Continue Reading →
