5 Things: Scarecrow Contest to Benefit Bacon Library

1. Are you interested in making a scarecrow this fall? The Charles River Coffeehouse is sponsoring its third annual Scarecrow Contest to benefit the Bacon Free Library. More details on how to register can be found here.

3. Babies can't talk, but that doesn't mean they can't communicate. A class hosted at Gardengate Academy will give you a chance to teach your infant sign language so they can better communicate with you. The event starts at 10 a.m.

4. The Natick Cooperative Playgroup, an local nonprofit, wants to help you foster a social environment for your child. They will host a play session at 9:30 a.m. today where kids can interact and eat snacks. The event is hosted at the First Baptist Church.
