Governor Patrick at Newburyport Farmers' Market

Governor Patrick took a stroll through the Newburyport Farmers' Market at the Tannery on Sunday morning.

Vendors and shoppers alike were delighted by his visit.

And, I'm delighted that the Daily News of Newburyport published one of my pictures from the event in this morning's paper!

Governor Patrick and Sam Piseth

Sam and his wife, Ratha, were among the first charter members of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) at Arrowhead Family Farm, according to Dick Chase. (Dick kindly provided caption info to me late Sunday evening so the photo could be published in today's Daily News. Thank you, Dick!)

Take a look at the rest of the pictures HERE.

Brunch with Congressman Tierney

I'm so proud to be a constituent of John Tierney and to know I'm represented by someone whose work and voting record reflect my progressive beliefs.

So, gathering with fellow progressives at Plum Island Grill in Newbury to have brunch with our Congressman made for a pretty nice Sunday morning!

Another great breakfast!

The 5th annual 3Ts & 2Cs (three cities and two towns) Breakfast was held in Newburyport. Many of the candidates running for statewide and district office came to speak, and Governor Patrick's Campaign Kickoff Bus made a stop on the way to Boston for a rally.

Great turnout! Great breakfast! Great democrats!

My photos on Massachusetts Democratic Party website!

The Massachusetts Democratic Party website has linked to my photos of the Democratic Campaign Institute!

I hope there will soon be a permanent link to an ongoing photo album of pictures, but for now, there's a link from the entry about the DCI in the middle column of the Mass Dems home page.

Here's a direct link to the photo album.

Governor Patrick in Danvers

Governor Patrick held a series of meetings with supporters yesterday, one of which was in Danvers at the Peabody Institute Library.

The mural in the room made for a great backdrop for pictures. I did a quick search and didn't find anything written about the artist or subject. If anyone knows about it, please let me know.

Barn Dance!

The Boxford DTC sponsored a Barn Dance last Saturday night at historic Gould Barn in Topsfield. The fabulous blues band, 2120 South Michigan Avenue with Sweet Willie "D" and special guest, Pat Herlihy, on sax, had the old barn rocking on its foundation! What fun!

Here's the 300 year old barn* looking benign from the outside:

And here's the band rockin' on the inside!

Breakfast with the Ipswich DTC

Saturday morning, the Ipswich Democratic Town Committee held their annual breakfast, at which a Citizens Action Award was given to Ipswich Caring, a volunteer organization that has been helping seniors, families and children for thirty-six years.

Among the speakers was our Congressman John Tierney, who not only gave us an update on congressional goings-on, but also presented the award of Ipswich Democrat of the Year to Ed Traverso.

Also speaking were Suzanne Bump, candidate for State Auditor, Governor's Council candidate, Jason Panos, Damian Anketell, candidate for Essex County Sheriff, and representatives of the Lt. Governor Tim Murray and Steve Grossman for State Treasurer campaigns.

House Party for Governor Patrick's State of the Commonwealth Address

On Thursday night, over 20 local Dems gathered in Newbury to watch the Governor give his State of the Commonwealth address. Dinner, great conversation, and engagement over the administration's accomplishments and shortcomings.

After the speech, we participated in a conference with Governor Patrick and activists at house parties across the state.

I didn't notice the donkey on the mantle until I started editing the photos--I love it!

Newburyport press conference for Coakley

Earlier this afternoon, local officials gathered at a press conference on Inn St. in Newburyport (really cold, gross weather) to show support for Martha Coakley.

Everyone's for Coakley!

Martha Coakley rally in Newburyport

Martha Coakley, Massachusetts Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, toured the North Shore today and stopped for an energetic and well-attended rally.
