3. Bedford boys blazing a trail through Rhode Island. The Bedford 9- and 10-year-old Little League all-stars have pieced together back-to-back blowouts to move up the standings in the Eastern Regional tournament in Cranston, RI.

4. The weatherman says ... The forecasted high today may be a beautiful 80 degrees, but there is a 50-percent chance of rain with the possibility of severe thunderstorms. The overnight low is 70 degrees with the chance of rain rising to 80 percent in the evening.

5. Gettin' thrifty! Visit the Brookside Thrift Shop today for a fantastic selection of clothing. Do you need something for those hot August days or do you need something for school? They have it all - blouses, polo shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, shoes, sneakers. They also have a great selection of household items, books, games, and so much more. Stop by and tell them that you saw this on the Bedford Patch calendar of events, and visit the garden next door before or after you visit the thrift shop, which is located behind Brookside Congregational Church at 2013 Elm Street in Manchester.
