Unfortunately, it’s the Raiders left feeling that way after coming up short at Greater New Bedford 4-2 in the MIAA Div. 3 Round of 16 Boys Soccer Tournament.

You can start this weekend early, with a Friday morning Creative Chat at the Mosesian with the artist Cat Bennett. She is a lifelong professional artist who has written a couple of books about how to make art creation a practice in your life. An important Earth Day event on Saturday is the DPW recycling day. It’s time to get rid of your very old tax files or equally old textiles and styrofoam you’ve been collecting. If you arrive before it runs out, there’ll be giving away Black Earth compost. Also, our town tree warden is gifting baby oak trees! A Midsummer Night’s Dream is continuing this weekend if you missed it last week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
