East Bridgewater Martian Visits Cape Cod


Molly and her martian visited Cape Cod this summer!

Martians Visit DC!!

The martians visiting Fairhaven have made it to our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.!

Hoops is a STAR!

To start his earthly education, Hoops (The Springfield City Library Alien) visited behind the scenes of the Country Players Production of “Oliver” on their last night of dress rehersal. He learned all about what it takes to put a show together, and got to meet all the stars that make the show so special.
















Here are just some of his many new theater friends. From top to bottom we have David Peck, who plays the evil Bill Sykes, Sue MacDonald who plays the greedy Widow Corney, Keara MacDonald as the mischevious and artful Dodger, and Hoop's library friend Sarah Hodge-Wetherbe as the Strawberry Seller.


Hoops got to learn a lot about what it takes to put on a stage production, and had a great time meeting all the cast. He was thinking maybe next year they could put on a staged version of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” with himself as the star! Who knows!

Red White & Blueberry Festival in Hammonton, NJ

Two of the Martians from Boston landed at the Red White and Blueberry Festival in Hammonton, NJ back in June. Zark and Zedina soaked up some real Americana that day. They also discovered that they sure take their blueberries seriously in Hammonton....
Zark wants to know if all Americans get this tall when they grow up?

Zark and Zedina wanted to go for a spin in a 1956 Chevy Nomad. They sure don't make cars like this on Mars!


Zark and the Boston librarian he brought with him to the festival.
