Did you visit the magnificent, completely hand-made Grotto this week during the 113th Anniversary Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society? If not, you still have a chance to enjoy the festivities this Thursday, 7/21 through 7/24 at 7:30 at Virginia Ave. in Rosebank. On Sunday, a magician was entertaining the delighted kiddies. Enjoy music by DJ Vin D and bands throughout the festival. Following are photos of the Grotto and surrounding altars.
Back to the Beach took place on Saturday and Sunday with the sun blazing most of the day but cool breezes made the heat bearable. Many visitors stopped by at the Gillani Homes booth to say hello and enter the chance to win a Lottery Scratch-Off Ticket House. See the photos below.

Photowalk at Fort Wadsworth on Saturday was an eye opener! With professional photographer, Ed Coppola, as our guide, we captured photos of all the many angles and views of the Verrazano Bridge and the many edifices—inside and out—of the Fort. A Gateway Park Service volunteer filled us in on the background of this historic site. All of the fotogs, down to the youngest child had a ball snapping pictures.
