Five Things to Do This Weekend

It’s Friday and we’ve got some ideas to help you plan a fun weekend but, at the same time, stay local. The Hurricane is building up towards us but doesn't mean you can't plan fun things for the weekend anyways. While it is planning to touch down in New England on Sunday, that doesn't mean you can't have fun beforehand!
