This Week in Review
This weekend, being dominated by Easter, features few truly amazing events — unless you have kids and spend 10 minutes Easter egg hunting. However, it would be a great time for a hike at Wachusett Mountain or the Middlesex Fells. Hiking when it’s a little chilly is just like having your own air conditioner! You can walk as much as you like without sweating.
I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

Minuteman Parade, Pole Capping, & Paul Re…
It’s not Patriot’s Day yet! But taking a cue from St. Patrick’s Day, we’re going to start celebrating anyway. There’ll be a parade at 10:30am from the Bedford Town Common, pole capping (which is exactly what you think it is), then a fife & drum performance, and a re-enactment of the Paul Revere being captured by the British — too late, because he’d already warned the townspeople via his famous ride.

Bunny Bonanzoo at Stone Zoo
Easter is here! It is a festival of chocolate, sugar, bad nutrition, and worse dental hygiene. Here are some places to go that aren’t religious. (You really don’t need Events INSIDER to find a church if you prefer that.) The Stone Zoo is always worth a visit, but especially when there’s a giant bunny, scavenger hunts, crafts, and zookeeper presentations. See a bunch more on Easter below. 10am-3pm.

Help Me Polish My Book!
–
Hey, Events INSIDERs! This is Johnny here. Did you know that I’ve written a book about my awesome art project? Check out the website to see how I set 5 world records for advice-giving through a community art kiosk. I’ve completed a draft and I’m seeking volunteers to read it and comment. I definitely don’t need time-consuming line-by-line commentary. I just need a few people to give it a quick read and tell me what they thought of its clarity, pacing, and impact. Email me at johnny@eventsinsider.com and thank you! (Click ‘more’ for details)Hey, Events INSIDERs! This is Johnny here. Did you know that I’ve written …
