Land Sharks.....

*** I tried 3 times last night to keep my promise, internet kept going out***

As promised I am back with Part II of Sharks In The Park.  I also want to let you know that there is a Face Book Page dedicated to The Chatham Shark, Lydia.   Complete with a shark tracker where you can keep tabs on her there.

Here are the final photos of the sharks in the park.  I did not post all 54, but if you come by I'd be more than happy to take you downtown......maybe a stop at Chatham Candy Manor & the Squire?  :)

Enjoy~~

Love the whole mocking of this shark and seal combo!

Love how they actually look like they are swimming along in these next photos.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Remember, if you're in the area, you must visit Kate Gould Park, the sharks will be displayed through June 2nd.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by.

It's Spring Time And The Sharks Are In The Park!

Good Afternoon!  Another glorious day in Paradise.  I want to share a little bit about the community I live in, Chatham, Mass.  We used to see these bumper stickers all around, Chatham, a quaint little drinking village with a fishing problem.  But since the Great Whites arrived, that has all changed.  Now we are beginning to be known for, a quaint little shark village with a seal problem.  The Great Whites have realized there are an abundance of fat, lazy, lying in the sun, delicious meals waiting for them on Monomoy Island.  You out-of-towners may have seen this cozy little hamlet hit the news each summer, due to the sharks, they made quite the splash.  And you have probably seen us on the Weather Channel too.  We have our own little weather station, and when the wind kicks up and the waves crash all news vehicles descend, it's quite comical at times. 

But back to the Great Whites.  We now have an exhibit of Sharks In The Park.  Local Artists and businesses have created beautifully decorated/painted/crafted sharks, yes.....SHARKS!   I went downtown where they are displayed and was amazed at the talent and variety of ideas.  AMAZING!!! 

I am just going to post some of the photos today and more tomorrow. 

Just drink it all in people!

This is the shark that some of the Gals from my Crafty Chics Group created.  It has paintings of local attractions and a QR Reader so you can scan and learn more about each attraction.  VERY Clever!
 


There are 54 Sharks in the park.....dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.......
