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.”
“Say it Ain’t So Joe” the musical is at the Mosesian Center for the Arts on Saturday. What a great weekend line-up of fun activities we have in town this week! Saturday morning there’s a wellness workshop at the library. Dance is in the title, which always is a draw for me. The musical, “Say It Ain’t So, Joe,” at the Mosesian, could be your Saturday night entertainment.

This fall weekend is offering an eclectic group of activities for you Watertownians. I didn’t find any local entertainment on Friday evening, so I suggest going out and enjoying one of our restaurants. There’s a new South Indian restaurant in town, Chennai Eats, on School Street. It looks delish.
Then Saturday you might want to return your overdue books to the Watetown Bookmobile at the Longfellow Rd. Block Party, or finally get yourself a library card.

The Historical Society of Watertown & The Watertown Free Public Library Present: “Huzzah! Drinking with John Hancock during the American Revolution” with Dr. Brooke Barbier
WHEN: Sunday, September 22, 2024, 2 p.m.WHERE: Watertown Free Public Library, Watertown Savings Bank Room, 123 Main St Watertown MA 02472
Learn more about the important role of alcohol in the culture and politics of Colonial America in this free lecture with Brook Barbier, author of King Hancock:
The Radical Influence of a Moderate Founding Father (2023). When John Hancock needed to win people over, he didn’t talk about resisting taxes or policy improvements; instead, he served alcohol. He offered rum punch and wine at his home and paid for lavish meals in taverns to bring people together. Guests included lower-class men, French officers, and Black women and men.

Quickly, before the library parking lot is shut on Saturday, take your kiddos to the sing-along on Friday morning. The adults in the family could go see the beautiful art exhibit of photo-realistic paintings at the Armenian Museum of America. I love the photo they show on the website. Saturday afternoon, many in Watertown will be heading to the Faire on the Square. It’s time to grab some free candy or swag at the booths, hang out to hear some music, and hit the rides.
