New Year Plunge222 viewsIt was not publicized or heavily promoted, but traditions are hard to break. That was the case on New Year’s Day 2022 when a hearty group of some 200 “plungers” arrived at Mattapoisett Town Beach for their annual dip in the harbor. Last year the event was not publicized at all, said this year’s organizers, Heather and Michael Bichsel. “But we decided since people were going to show up anyway, we’d help to keep this going.”

Marion Art Center 222 viewsA survey of 40 years of work by local artist Nancy Dyer Mitton is on display at the Marion Art Center through August 9. Mitton’s use of color in expressing the world around her, be it a coastal scene or a study, pulls on the strings of our memories and allows us to revisit our own lives through the prism of her art.

Harbor Days 221 viewsHarbor Days came to Mattapoisett this past weekend, and many visitors were gracious enough to spin The Wanderer Wheel for a $1 donation to the Lions Club. Those who played helped raise an extra $523 the Lions Club will use to benefit the community. The Aardvark came out too, but since furry aardvarks hate hot weather, he only made a couple of appearances. Photos by Jean Perry
