When the dock opens on or about May 1, my intention is to be sure this page is updated daily with weather, planned activities, or whatever our Dockmaster can think of to write. While we're waiting, we'll occasionally post information here that we think could be useful. The next edition of the Riggs Cove Chronicle is about to go to press and includes several announcements about our plans for summer. I'll see that the relevant information gets published here so be sure to check this site periodically. Meanwhile, I'm experimenting with this web site software. If a link doesn't work, I'll fix it sooner or later.

(06-23-2006) A Tribute to the Artists of Riggsville

Our Wednesday Night Lecture Series will take a different turn this summer as we host three very special events. We are fortunate to have a number of talented artists here in Georgetown who have produced unique works of art depicting the historical aspects of ìRiggsvilleî (formerly North Georgetown, now known as Robinhood). We invite you to join us as we honor these gifted individuals for the contributions they have made to our community.

Wednesday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. Robinhood artist, Jack Schneider. Jack is a multi talented artist whose works have added color, character and historical significance to our facility. Viewing Jackís pieces will bring you back to the early days of Riggsville with dioramas of the working waterfront, a bust of Riggsville founder, Benjamin Riggs, the life size likeness of Mahotiwormet aka ìChief Robinhoodî and the whimsical figurehead of our former Accounting Manager which hangs in our studio. Jack will be sharing many of his works with us this evening. Please join us in paying homage to this gifted artist.

Wednesday, August 2 at 7:00 p.m. Georgetown Artist, Art collector and Historian, Gene Reynolds. Gene has been invaluable to us in our pursuit of historical artifacts and information on Riggsville. An artist in his own right, Gene also possesses a great deal of knowledge of Georgetown artists past and present. This evening Gene will share his expertise along with pieces from his personal collection of the works of renowned Robinhood artists, William and Marguerite Zorach, Dahlov Ipcar, Jason Schoener and a few more.

Wednesday, August 9 at 7:00 p.m. Five Islands artist, Mary Leonard. Maryís works have graced the walls of many buildings here at Robinhood Marine Center. She has produced the historic renditions of the Riggsville waterfront for our annual calendar and many of our Christmas cards over the years. Mary has mastered many mediums and is able to capture the essence of historic Riggsville. Please join us this evening in our ìTribute to Maryî.
