1. Children of all ages are invited to join in the Art on the Farm on Wednesday, May 10, at 4 p.m. at the Educational Farm at Joppa Hill. This fun and educational program encourages children to explore their creativity and learn about the different animals on the farm by making three unique animal art projects.

2. A man drove across a lawn and crashed into a wooded area on Bedford Road around 3:30 p.m. on Monday. Merrimack Fire and Police arrived to find the man unconscious and issued a trauma alert. The vehicle appears to have veered off the road "near the intersection of Wire Road, continued across Bedford Road, a lawn, and came to rest in a small, wooded area just past Lois Lane." (Jeffrey Hastings via Bedford Patch)
3. "We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops." Patch is happy to celebrate an "amazing" mom, Donna of Bedford. Among many other things, she is remembered for loving her kids and grandchildren. Donna's daughter wrote, "She was a single mother of two kids — one with a disability, which made things even harder." This amazing mom worked hard to provide for her family "and did an amazing job." A shoutout to Donna for Mother's Day. Find out more here: (Bedford Patch)
