Scenes from a spirited holiday weekend in Hull

Legions of volunteers took part in the Nantasket Hull Rotary Club’s annual Thanksgiving meal deliveries last Thursday. More than 250 volunteers coordinated the preparation, packaging, and delivery of 1,100 holiday dinners and bags of donated groceries to local families. Using Daddy’s Beach Club as a home base (where 200 were served inside), the volunteers packed up the meals – complete with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, vegetables, cranberry sauce, rolls, and pie – for a hundred residents to pick up, while the remainder of the dinners were hand-delivered in less than four hours. On Saturday, members of the Hull Nantasket Chamber of Commerce welcomed the man of the hour, Santa Claus, and his helper to the organization’s Hull Holiday Showcase. The annual celebration of the town’s talented artists, dedicated local businesses, and community groups attracted crowds of shoppers all day at the Nantasket Beach Resort. [Skip Tull photos]
