OK Bostonians the rumor is that today is the last day of rain and Randy Moss. It is also the end of Wednesday which means the start of making weekend plans...a long weekend for some of us!
Saturday afternoon will be spent hanging at the Art @ Armory on Highland Ave., Somerville. Why? Well as I mentioned in the last blog, festivals are awesome and this is a local festival that is looking to be well worth the wait and donation...it is called Harvest Fest and you should be buying your tickets now.
The fest is an all day event that is broken down into two sessions. Both promise to be jam packed with food, beer, entertainment and merriment for all. The first session runs from 1 to 5PM and the second from 6 to 9PM. The cost of admission gets you in for the local entertainment, 1 bite of food from 10 fantastic Somerville restaurants such as Pizzeria Posto (yum!), Foundry on Elm, Redbones, Eat at Jumbos, Chocolate Tart, Shermans cafe, Highland Kitchen (and more!) and a chance to try local beer (Pretty Things and Rapscallion to name a couple!). Each session only cost $20 or $35 for both...I believe the second session is sold out for a solo buy, but you can still get in if you buy both together..there will also be tickets at the door but be advised it is not guaranteed.
If the promise of good times and food is not enough (is that possible?) well know that buying your ticket will be helping out the fabulous organization known as Somerville Local First. They are part of a large movement that is growing to help build a strong communities by supporting local businesses. Supporting local helps in job creation, economic growth and giving a large city a sense of small town community. I have been following them for a while now and they do an amazing job of promoting local businesses and events. SLF is also a non-profit and grass-roots, which I would imagine means low funds...helping out AND getting to join in on a fantabulous day of fun..seems like the decision has already been made for you!
So log on to facebook, LIKE Somerville Local First and navigate to the Harvest Fest 2010 page...more information about the days plans and how to get tickets can be found there...
See you Saturday!
