Better hunker down Friday night because it looks like we’re going to get hit with a dumpload of snow (fourth weekend in a row) but the rest of the weekend looks clear and that’s great news for the multiple winterfests happening around the state.

Strand on The Air
Sunday, February 27—On Radio
 |
This is for all of the introverts who never wanted to leave their houses during the pandemic anyway—The Strand Theatre is putting on its radio Variety Show “CabinFever Edition” on Sunday at 5 p.m.
House Manager Liz McLeod, announcer Dan Bookham, musical director Brittany Parker, and the Strand Family Players will put on a radio show for an hour, joined by special musical guests GoldenOak.
Here’s a preview: “...Journalists of All Things Rescinded will take a look at the burgeoning new pandemic-inspired musical genre of “grumblecore,” featuring the radio debut of the hard-driving alternative band “Karen’s Spleen,” along with a nostalgic look at Town Meeting season as it used to be, and a preview of our coming travails with mud season.
Professor Dan Bookham will offer a poetic rumination on the unpredictability of late-winter weather, and down in Abysmal Point, Mrs. Grunden, Lilita, and the gang will gather round the kitchen table to drive off the winter blues with a hard-fought no-quarter-asked-and-none-given game of full-contact Monopoly.” FMI: https://www.wrfr.org
