James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

Sulinha’s Trio performs educational children’s music at the Library. This is going to be a lovely weekend to enjoy some poetry at Mount Auburn Cemetery or to catch a yard sale. If you have little ones at home, take them over to the library for some music time with a Brazilian influence. The songs are in English, but the instrumentation is definitely Brazilian. As a crafty person myself, I’m drawn to the home-held stamp camp or the silk screening at the Fort Gallery exhibit.

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.
