I love the variety of activities that I have found for you this weekend. Let’s start with a trip to Gore Place on Friday evening or Saturday morning for a used book sale. You know you want to read more and spend less time on screens. Also, on Friday night and Saturday afternoon there is a play called Human Vivekananda at the Mosesian. It highlights the life of Swami Vivekananda, his spiritual and human side of life. Saturday there is an Irish dance demonstration at the library. Saturday afternoon there is a wellness summit for Hispanic women. I left the description in Spanish, hoping that some Spanish speaking town residents will be interested. Additionally on Saturday, there is a benefit piano and vocal concert at First Parish Church, featuring David Rivera Bozon and Hector Vargas. The money all goes to support Watertown residents in need
