The MMC is an active club-- we participate in a number of events over the
course of the year.
Each year, the club participates in an exhibition at the Town Green in Cohasset,
MA. Models are on display, and sailed in the pond. A large
number of models are on display, with Steve Levesque's "Footie"
sailboat and tug in the forefront.

variety of vendors and exhibitors, some of which are in the tents in the
background.
One of our most popular events is the portable pond at the annual Salem Maritime
Festival, in Salem, MA. We set up the pond, with docks, islands, and
other obstacles. Club members provide a fleet of Lindberg tugs to run, and
we invite the youngsters to run them. It is always a popular attraction at
the Festival.

Festival. Models too large to go in the pond are on display, and the tugs
are repaired and recharged as needed.
Each year, at least one of our club events is "Night Run".
Dusk is falling here at the 2006 event, and the Cable Head, Eastie, and
a tug
are starting to show up nicely. The night run is always a popular
event.
