There is a lot happening on Saturday this weekend: a classic car show, a writing in nature gathering at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, a meeting of the Watertown Run Club, and a tour of the Hatch Makerspace. I’m going to start my weekend on Friday at the Linx Summerfest. Isn’t it fun to eat food from food trucks while strolling vendor booths or discovering your next craft exploration at a demonstration? The next morning, you can head over to the Majestic 7 to catch a family friendly movie. Kids are free! If you don’t have a kid, you can go anyway.
