Former Concord resident is looking to place her Spanish students; Picnic in the Park is looking for your time and/or money.
Here we are, at the last day of May – where does the time go?? I can hardly believe it’s already June, with three months of glorious summer ahead of us. I do love the warm weather! I need to send out belated birthday wishes to my wonderful grandmother, Nellie Dexter – she turned ninety-nine last Sunday. I am so lucky to still have a grandmother! Her late husband, my grandfather Ralph, had roots here in Concord: his grandmother grew up here, and her family before that, all the way back to the late 1600’s. One of these days I’m going to head to our local library and look up exactly where in Concord they lived, and find out why they didn’t leave any valuable farmland to future generations, like me. For those of you who do have a home here …

Emerson Umbrella hosts an opening for their sculpture exhibit, the Concord Museum hosts its annual Garden Tour, and the composting site is open for business.
Hello, people, and welcome to Thursday! It’s the one day that stands between you and Friday, the day that ushers in the first official weekend of summer. I hope you’ve got your barbeque grills spiffed up and ready to go – personally, we use ours all winter, but we’re pretty excited to get back into making it a more regular event. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are some new big sculptures out on the lawn in front of Emerson Umbrella. It was the egg-shaped sculpture that initially caught my eye, so I chatted with mixed-media artist Max Payne to get the skinny. About three years ago, Emerson Umbrella decided to let people know what they were all about, as well as showcase some of their artists, by putting their large sculptures …

Come see great theater, sign your kid up to fish, and check out Decibels Foundation and the Concord Museum’s Annual Garden Tour.
Hello, friends, and welcome. For those of you who had the week off from school who decided to stay around, I hope you kept busy, taking advantage of all the cool things going on around town. There’s a lot coming up, so let’s jump in. Little Women March On Awhile back I told you about the Little Women Spring we’re having – well, the next event is the production of Little Women itself. It starts next Friday, April 27, and runs four times each weekend over the next three weekends: Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It’s a show the Concord Players do every 10 years, in tribute to Concord’s own Louisa May Alcott, and their script, which hews closely to the book, is an original adaptation by local playwright David …
