5 Things You Need to Know Today: June 2

Fun in Nonamtum, images from Iran, Dunn-Gaherin's 5K and more.

1. Today is Nonantum Village Day. We incorrectly listed yesterday as the day (sorry!), so we wanted to revisit today. From noon-3 p.m. at Coletti-Magni Park there will be games, food and general good times.

2. Ever wondered what Iran is like beyond what you hear in the news? There's a Newton At Home is sponsoring a presentation today by traveler and photographer Dick Simon. At 2 p.m. at the Scandinavian Living Center in West Newton, Simon will discuss and show photos from his recent trip to Iran.

3. The Dunn-Gaherin's 5K for Pete's Sake will be running/walking in Upper Falls today. The race begins at 10 a.m. and you can register at the starting line.
