What's Happening In Hyannis This Month?

I just received the Town of Barnstable newsletter with updates on what is happening.

The revitalization of Hyannis also brought new activities to downtown. Here are a few fun things you might enjoy:

Check out the "Harbor your Arts Artist Shanties"
at Bismore Park, Hyannis Harbor, Ocean Street
Open Daily 11 am to 7 pm
I recently had lunch at Spankys which overlooks Hyannis Harbor. We then strolled through the seven shanties that have local artists who create and sell their work there.
You will find the talented artists display a variety of items including photography, painting, woodcarving, ceramics and more. I enjoyed chatting with them as I browsed through their shanties. The shanties are well groomed with walkways that host beautiful hydrangeas as well as other plantings. Oh and by the way Spankys was an enjoyable experience as well. We had to wait 10 minutes because it was so busy(at 2:00 when most places are empty). The food was great and so was the service.
