  A nearly quarter-mile-long panorama created in 1848 of a whaling
  voyage is being restored at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

"Something big is happening at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
**

It's bigger than a whale. In fact, it's nearly 20 times longer than the 
museum's 66-foot blue whale skeleton.

It's a painting, almost a quarter-mile long and 8½ feet high, of a 
whaling journey, called the "Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage 'Round 
the World."

When the painting went on tour in 1848, panoramas were all the rage, and 
it created a sensation. Audience members could pay 25 cents (equal to 
about $7.35 today) to sit in a theater and watch as the tempera painting 
on cotton sheeting was pulled across the stage, winding off from one 
spool and onto another. The performance, with intermission for spool 
changes, took two to three hours." from the Providence Journal Bulletin

*/THIS WEEKEND: /*September 23, 24, 26
*//*
Cape Cod Scallop Festival at the Barnstable County Fairgrounds, Route 
151 Falmouth
*//*
http://www.capecodscallopfest.com/

While thousands head to the Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce’s 
iconic festival just to snag a sizzling fried-scallop plate, attendees 
will also find a world of entertainment to enjoy around the dining.

The three-day event outgrew its original Buzzards Bay Park home and, now 
held at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds in East Falmouth, has become a "world 
of wonders," explains Marie Oliva, chamber president and chief executive 
officer. There will be a Classic Antique Cruisin' Car Show, plus a 
cornhole tournament, dozens of professional arts and crafts vendors, a 
full-scale inflatable park and obstacle course, an extensive food court 
(for treats other than scallops), and a beer and wine garden.

In New England, cider making is to autumn what maple sugaring is to spring.
However, 19th-century farmers would not recognize the sweet cider we 
enjoy from farm stands today.
Cider in the 1800s was not merely the apple juice, but was fermented 
"squeezings" from apples, which meant the cider would keep through the 
spring planting, summer heat and into the harvesting of the next apple 
season.
