Eat Ice Cream and Then Brush Your Teeth This Weekend

We won’t let the Super Bowl overshadow this weekend. Yes, it is one of our things to do this weekend, but there are plenty of other local events that have nothing to do with a television and couch that you can enjoy long before Sunday evening.

Each Friday morning Hamilton-Wenham Patch’s brings you a quick guide to local events and activities.

The weekend calendar includes a wide variety of  things to do and we encourage you to look past this weekend guide into our full calendar of events, where we have other events listed.

Remember, if you have great ideas of your own that you want to share, please feel free to add them in the comments section at the bottom.
