Six years after a committee issued recommendations for the renovation of the track and courts at Victory Field, the project will be moving forward. However, some at the meeting on Wednesday where the plans were presented called for making the field inside the oval artificial turf to allow for more use by high school and youth sports teams.

Weekend Fun: Craft Night, Irish Music, Spanish Dancing, Drawing Workshop & More

By |

This weekend starts off with a craft night at the library maker space on Friday for the LGBTQ community. Then Saturday there’s an Irish band playing at the Ancient Order of the Hibernians that could well get you singing and dancing the night away. If you’d prefer a Latin beat, Olespana can serve up a variety of Spanish food, to be followed by dancing in the later hours. Sunday is the time for quieter activities. There’s a drawing workshop at Mt. Auburn for all levels of artistic ability, or you might be interested in the Armenian American history in World War II, a film that’s showing Sunday afternoon at the library. Watertown can entertain you well this weekend.
