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. Throughout the weekend, the Mosesian Center will be presenting a South Asian theater festival that looks fascinating. Then on Sunday afternoon, you can head back to the library for a talk about the role of alcohol in Colonial America. John Hancock was once more than his current incarnation of a Boston skyscraper.
