Things to Do
Central Mass Activities Columbus Day Weekend
It’s hard to believe that Columbus Day weekend is upon us already. Yes we definitely can use a long weekend but where does the time go? In the past we have highlighted some of the fun activities that can be found in and around the Worcester and Central Massachusetts areas. Off the top of my […]
Central Mass Video
I recently found a video where Lt. Governor Murray highlighted the many things that Central Mass and Worcester have going for it. The format is a bit dated since it was done back in 2007 but it does mention so much of what we in Massachusetts take for granted, “So Much, So Close”.
Worcester Ecotarium Partipating in Free Museum Day
This summer our family was able to visit Worcester’s Ecotarium for the first time. We didn’t quite know what to expect since it is a bit of a mix between park and science museum. Our kids got a big kick out of the bubble display and the displays regarding the animals and their environments. It […]
Worcester Common the Place to Be this Summer
The Worcester Common is the location of many great Worcester traditions. The Worcester Common Concert Series otherwise know as the “Out to Lunch” series started up again today. The series has been going on the last couple of years and is so popular that it has been extended to 10 Fridays. They take place from […]
Enjoying Bruins Stanley Cup Playoffs
Having our own hockey team we get a chance to enjoy some good hockey closer to home with the Worcester Sharks but there is no denying that the Boston Bruins being in the NHL playoffs is just as exciting for local Central Massachusetts hockey fans. Even more exciting since they finally made it into the […]
Worcester Area Memorial Day 2011
It looks like this Memorial Day Weekend for 2011 is going to be good weather for a change. The Worcester Telegram had a couple of good videos on Memorial Day. The first shows the meaning of the holiday that may sometimes be lost as we focus on the unofficial kickoff of the summer. Sadly the […]
Worcester Holiday Pops at Mechanics Hall
This weekend my husband and I are going to the Holiday Pops Concert this weekend at Worcester’s renowned Mechanics Hall. This will be my first time so I am very excited not only to attend the concert but to visit Mechanics Hall. There is something about old, classical buildings that have always attracted me. It […]
Worcester Common Lights Will Shine Tonight
The annual Worcester Festival of Lights takes place this evening at Worcester Common. No the picture isn’t one from Worcester Common, I hope to get one this year. The picture does show a tree lighting event that has been a tradition throughout the United States as a symbol of the Holiday Season. The Worcester Tree […]
Enjoying the ThanksGiving Season in Central Mass
As Central Massachusetts gets ready to celebrate Thanksgiving there is plenty to do for those who want to get out early. This weekend on Saturday November 2oth from 9am to 11am The Town of Grafton is holding it’s annual Great Turkey Treasure Hunt. In exchange for giving a donation of canned goods for the Grafton […]

Apple Picking in Stow, Massachusetts
If you haven’t made an apple picking trip this year it isn’t too late in Central Massachusetts. We recently made a trip out to Stow, Massachusetts where we visited Honey Pot Hill Orchards. We were a bit overwhelmed by the choices of farms we could visit for our first official apple picking trip as a […]
Worcester Celebrates Oktoberfest in 2010
Shrewsbury Street is celebrating the annual October tradition of Oktoberfest this weekend. It makes brilliant sense to celebrate a beer and food festival on the hottest street for restaurants and taverns in Worcester. They have actually made a catchy theme of it with the date which is 10-10-10. There will be 10 venues participating with […]
Worcester Sharks Bring Hockey Action to Marlboro
The New England Sports Center in Marlboro is hosting the first 2010 preseason game for the Worcester Sharks. They will be playing no other than the Providence Bruins at 7pm tonight. It is weird to think of hockey on a day where it is in the mid-70s but this is a great opportunity to see […]
