The following announcement was provided by Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice, and the Environment:

Japanese A-bomb survivors, who have transformed their excruciating physical and emotional wounds into the world’s strongest force for nuclear weapons abolition, are coming to the Boston area to help us reinvigorate our movement. The delegation, which includes Hiroshi Kanamoto, Yoshinori Ohmura, and Yayoi Tsuchida, will have recently participated in meetings for the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations.

WEEKEND FUN: Family Yoga, Reptiles, Brunch, Sheep, Radio Dramas on Stage

By |

It is school vacation week, so many young families may be out of town, but for those who remained, you may be looking for some fun things to do right here. Friday from 4-5 there is a reptile show at the library for families with children ages 3-11. Friday evening there is a performance at the Mosesian of the Post-Meridian Radio Players, an audio drama of a few funny short stories by P.G. Woodhouse. Take your older children to get some laughs in. Saturday or Sunday morning you could go out for brunch at Branch Line. I typically think of diners for brunch but take a look at the Branch Line menu! It has a great selection including waffles and fried chicken, a special brunch for vacation week. Saturday afternoon, there are a couple of family yoga classes at Artemis Yoga. What’s more fun than doing downward dog, and cat and cow with your four year old with other kids and parents all around? I have a feeling that includes laughter too. Most of the day on Saturday, the Gore Estate will be hopping with their sheep shearing festival. There is sheep shearing to watch, but also live music performances, craft and fiber artists, herding dogs and interactive workshops. April vacation, Watertown is here for you!
