The summer lobster/clam bake  involved digging a giant pit and burning wood logs in it until they were a glowing orange-red.  Next, the embers were covered with a layer of fresh seaweed which was then covered with wooden trays full of live lobsters, shellfish, bagged fish fillets,  corn and potatoes.  Finally the food was covered with another layer of seaweed, soil, tarps  and then left to bake.  A few hours later, the feast was unearthed and served to the crowd.  I can’t even describe how incredible it all tasted!!!

Rose, (Goodtime fiddler Alice Malone’s mom) produces some of the coolest cakes on the west coast! By combining quality ingredients with artistic design, Rose creates cakes for those with impeccable taste. A variety of delectable favorites are available, from fruit flavorings and fragrant liqueurs to the richest chocolates. Hand-made sugar flowers, stylish details, exquisite flavors and Rose’s personalized attention to each design guarantees that your cake will be one of a kind.

The Goodtime Stringband performs at a lot of weddings, and when we see and/or taste a cake it is always compared to one of Rose’s. Her creations are our benchmark for quality, taste and innovation! Yummy!

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Camp Kiwanee in Hanson, MA is a former scout camp that has been converted into a state park. The grounds and lake are beautiful – and the Pine Lodge is a very interesting centerpiece to this property.  Built in the early 1800′s as a former vacation home, the lodge been converted into a wonderful function hall with a look all its own.

Many of the friends and family gathered for the celebration were unfamiliar with bluegrass and classic country music, but after getting the “dance machine” started with Hava Nagila / The Horah, the crowd danced the afternoon away!

The ceremony was held on the porch that overlooks the lake (pictured above). Congrats to Joe and Amanda and we wish you all the best!
