Creator of Wee Forest Folk celebrates 40 years in business, and the Concord Band presents its Holiday Pops concert.
I love stories of people who reinvent themselves, sometimes more than once, throughout their lives. Who says you have to have just one career, really? So boring! And isn’t it great when you discover a passion for something, at a time when the world thinks you should be tapering off and moving to somewhere warm, and instead you’re learning a new skill and doing something that delights you? Well, that’s what happened to Annette Petersen. She’s the woman behind the Wee Forest Folk, tiny sculptures of mice and fairies, over at the Montague Gallery on Walden Street. Believe me, there are a slew of them over there, each one cuter than the last, and so detailed and beautiful you just want to buy them all. Annette raised three children here in …

Check out the Thoreau Amble bridge, Concord Band plays at Fruitlands, and Debra’s Natural has some great events coming up.
Welcome to Thursday – how was your Fourth of July?? Did you get over to Picnic in the Park, the quintessential small-town celebration? One of my all-time favorite town events, I have to say. Last week I mentioned the walk up in Walden Woods, the one that has all the great quotes on granite. This week, I took a walk on the other side of Fairyland – the name the Alcott sisters gave to the Town Forest – and followed the Emerson-Thoreau Amble all the way to the end. And what I found was that the bridge that had been unfortunately destroyed has now been replaced, with a beautiful new and very functional bridge. You can follow the path from the Town Forest – there’s a sign that says “Amble” – all the way to the bridge, then follow the small …

Rotary Club sponsors Spring Pops, auditions for summer Shakespeare are this weekend, and there’s another Little Women lecture next week.
Hello, people, and welcome to Thursday! Just one more day stands between you and the weekend – and if you’re Christian, Easter candy. I’ve got my chocolate bunny all picked out and ready to eat. Here’s my question: do you start with the ears or the tail? Oh, who cares, it’s all good. We’ve got a bunch of good stuff coming up here in town so let’s get started. First up is the Rotary Club of Concord’s 37th Annual Pops Night on April 13, featuring renowned jazz vocalist Amanda Carr along with our own Concord Band. Here’s what Roger Crane, writing for the International Review of Music, has to say about Carr: “She is a singer who deserves to be heard, a singer who revives the finest qualities of the jazz vocal art. In fact, if we lived in a …
