James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning, Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal–then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”
The following information was provided by the Watertown Mall:
The Watertown Mall with Watertown Families Together will be hosting an event from September 8 through the 18th called “Its Apple Time!” This will be a “contactless” event located inside the mall. A pushcart located in front of Miss Maria’s School of Dance will contain craft kits. The kits include supplies to make your very own “Apple Puppet”. Supplies are limited so be sure to come early. Please limit to one kit per family.
