One of the tools of the Fall Foliage aficionado has to be the tool maintained by the […]

Last week we gave you a heads up on the PumpkinFest and AppleFest events that took place the past weekend. Both Ecotarium and Wachusett events are a good example of the family friendly events that take place each year during the Halloween season. Each year we look to update our list of Halloween events and […]
Columbus Day Weekend 2012 in Central Mass
Columbus Day weekend is here! Kind of (I think Friday counts). The weather has been dreary lately but there are Central Mass forecasts for today and Monday are quite nice. Saturday and Sunday also look like it only just might be an occasional shower in the afternoon. This should not keep anyone from making the […]

Celebrating Independence Day in the Central Mass and Worcester areas don’t just include July 4th this year. The Worcester Tornadoes are holding a series of Fireworks Fridays in July and August. They of course are tied in to home games so this week is out but the great news is that you will be able […]
Halloween 2011 in the Worcester Area

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 Farmers Markets Open Until End of October
Though the temperature is getting a bit brisker it isn’t too late to buy fresh fruit and vegetables at you local Worcester Farmers Market. I recently saw a story about how well the farmers markets were doing this year on NECN. Sales have been up almost 20 percent and there is still approximately a month […]
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 […]

Central Mass Fall Foliage Season 2010
Tomorrow is the first day of fall/autumn and is the kick off of our fall foliage season. As residents of New England we may sometimes take for granted the beauty of the fall foliage season.

This past Monday the official ground breaking event took place to start the redevelopment of the old City Square Mall.
