Watertown Field Hockey expects to be the best. They practice hard. They train and play year-round. They have a legendary coach in her 40th year who cares about her players, cares about teaching the sport, but also cares about teaching life-lessons. So, while no one feels sorry for Watertown after they lost for the first time since 2019 on Tuesday, players were certainly eager to learn from the loss and move on towards their ultimate goal — another State title.
Unsettled weather lingers Friday with a few early showers, then a long stretch of much improved conditions takes over. The weekend is bright and comfortable, with highs in the 70s and crisp, clear nights. Early next week turns even warmer, with several days near 80°F under mostly sunny skies. By midweek, a northeast breeze brings a cooler, more autumn-like feel to close out the period.

The beautiful fall season is here, and this weekend you can celebrate it in some fun ways. Start on Friday evening at the Gore Estate with a Living in the Dark Tour of their historic home. They will show you what life was like before electricity lit up our homes. Then on Saturday evening, be sure to catch the violin concert at the Armenian Museum of America, featuring renowned violinist, Haig Hovsepian. Sunday is National Drink Beer Day, and Donohue’s Bar & Grill welcomes you to celebrate it with them and their wide selection of beer. Sunday afternoon there is an adult crafting workshop at the library in which you can learn how to make wire bracelets. However, it might be wise not to drink and make bracelets on the same afternoon.
