What’s the story with this weekend’s weather ? It’s actually going to be a relatively great weekend in terms of weather! While will get close to freezing as a low overnight on Saturday, it will be in the middle to upper 50s all weekend. For some of us, that is still T-Shirt weather! Best part of the weekend is a 0% chance of rain. So head outdoors and enjoy the good weather before it gets cold and snowy!

Members of the Roy family, which has three generations of tug boat operators, will be on hand to answer questions about the work of tugboats and barges.
FHS Theatre Company presents “Arsenic and Old Lace” Day 1 (7:30 pm)
The play is a farcical black comedy revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police in Brooklyn, NY, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves.
His family includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and “just a pinch” of cyanide; a brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brewster home (which then serve as graves for the aunts’ victims); and a murderous brother who has received plastic surgery performed by an alcoholic accomplice, Dr. Einstein to conceal his identity and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff (a self-referential joke, as the part was originally played by Karloff). $12 adults, $10 for students and seniors, $7 for children under 12. Tickets available at the door.
