Plus, Beethoven’s 'Ode to Joy' and Applefest at Wachusett Mountain.
There’s a chill in the air. Temperatures fluctuate from morning to midday. Once again, we find ourselves in yet another period of unpredictable New England weather when it’s good to make backup plans. Luckily, there’s plenty of ways to keep yourself busy, even if an unexpected chill squashes those apple-picking plans.
Writers and readers unite at the Boston Book Festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday. With signings, readings and panels, this free event functions as a cross between Comic-Con and your elementary school’s Scholastic Book Fair. Keynote addresses will be delivered by Chloe Gong for young adult literature, Heather Cox Richardson for nonfiction and “Percy Jackson” series author Rick Riordan for children’s literature. Poetry headliners include Diannely Antigua and Oliver de la Paz.
Imagine the various ways one can prepare an apple, and you’ll probably find some version of it at Wachusett Mountain’s 39th Annual Applefest. Candied apples, apple pies, apple cider and, of course, apple cider donuts will all be available for purchase. In addition to the edible offerings, there will also be craft vendors and entertainment including live music, a pie eating contest and rides on the chairlift, which is the main attraction to many guests.
