Five Things: Entertainment Announced for Old Home Days

Weather: Let the warm up begin. Morning low clouds and fog then partly sunny, warmer and more humid. High of 85. If this is not hot enough for you, just wait until Wednesday, when record heat is possible.

A job well done: National Pollinator Week encourages everyone to “Bee” good to pollinators. Learn what you can do to help the birds and the bees (the bats, butterflies and beetles too!) by visiting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website www.fws.gov/pollinators/. According to the site, these hard-working animals help pollinate over 75 percent of our flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of our crops.

Week of Fun Camp: Campers in grades 1 through 4 will enjoy arts and crafts, stories, cooking and games. We will take walking field trips to Sears Park, the Public Library and more. Campers should bring a snack, their lunch and plenty to drink. To be held July 9 to 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fee is $85. Register online at www.easthamptonrec.com/info/activities/ or call East Hampton Parks and Recreation at 860-267-7300. This is just one of several summer activities available.

Just for teens: Portland Library’s Own the Night! summer reading challenge is a way to enhance and share your summer experiences with books. By reading, attending library programs, and participating in activities throughout the community, teens will make connections between their lives and the books they are reading. From June 19-Aug. 31, have some fun creating memories, trying new things, making connections, gathering prizes, and maybe you, too, can Own the Night this summer.
