Discovery Museum Speaker Series: Does Parenting Have To Be This Hard? What Babies Can Teach Us
2024-11-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Discovery Museum, Discovery Museum, 177 Main St, Acton, MA, 01720, United States
Discovery Museum Speaker Series event with Dr. J. Kevin Nugent, Founder and Director Emeritus of the Brazelton Institute in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital
American parents are finding parenting much harder than they expected. Over 80% of parents use internet search engines to look for parenting advice, but less than 50% of them found the results to be trustworthy. Almost 70% of parents say they would use more positive parenting strategies if only they knew them. So, where do we find these more positive parenting strategies that go beyond the prescriptive expert-driven “how to” approach of the internet? Our research suggests that the baby can teach us most of what we need to know as parents, since children influence the way their parents behave as much as parents influence their children. In fact, much of what looks like the effect of genes may really be the result of the way genes feed back on the environment. Event is free, advance registration is required.

Revolutionary Rum Craft Cocktail Class -- Part of 250th Commemorative Year Initiatives
2024-11-21 18:30 - 19:30 | The Inn at Hastings Park, 2027 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 02421, United States
A nod to the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, the start of the American Revolution in April 2025, rum is the focus of this craft cocktail class. During the colonial era, Boston was booming in the business of molasses distillation and rum became plentiful. It was the preferred alcoholic drink of American colonists and, on average, colonists consumed 3.7 gallons annually per head by the time of the American Revolution! Today, rum is again at the top in popularity. The Inn at Hastings Park’s mixology instructor, Dipendra Karki, leads this hour-and-a-half guided craft cocktail class. Guests enjoy delicious bar snacks while learning the basics of building the perfect rum cocktails along with take away techniques to practice the craft at home. What’s included: introduction to various bar tools, learning measurements and pour counts, building rum cocktails, creating creative garnishes, and introduction to infusions. Must be 21+ to participate.
$125/person (includes tax and gratuity).

2025-07-18 20:00 - 22:30 | Thomas E. Tidman Amphitheater at NARA Park, 71 Quarry Road, Acton, MA, 01720, United States
Draw the Line – the “Officially Endorsed Aerosmith Tribute Show” – originating near Boston Massachusetts, the same as Aerosmith themselves. – Come and see the show at NARA Park in Acton, MA!
It doesn’t get more authentic than this… period!
Established in 1991, Draw the Line has been touring for more than 30 years spanning the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe. DTL has played over 3,000 shows to sold out Audiences of up to 20,000 people. From MGM Grand Arena Las Vegas, to festivals throughout the USA, plus many legendary theaters, casinos, and cruise ships, Draw the Line is the standard for tribute shows.
During a January 1998 radio interview, Aerosmith Lead Singer Steven Tyler singled out Draw the Line as the best of the Aerosmith tribute bands. With disc jockey Nik Carter adding, ” I’ve seen Draw the Line. They are Aerosmith!!” DTL has been featured in international fanzines, Boston Globe, Boston Herald and other newspapers across the country. DTL has been featured on MTV and AXSTV World’s Greatest Tribute Bands as the best Aerosmith tribute show.
​
They are the only tribute band that has been featured on Aerosmith’s website as well as their Aero Force One official fan club. With support and accolades from Aerosmith themselves, as well as journalists, top DJs, and fans worldwide, it’s no wonder Draw the Line is recognized as a one-of-its-kind. “ A professional show band in a league of their own amongst tribute acts and of a caliber that is unparalleled in the tribute genre”, says Joe Reardon, reporter for the Mariner newspaper group.
​
Aerosmith members have been known to appear at DTL shows over the years, with original founding Aerosmith member Ray Tabano frequently jamming with them – you never know who you’ll see at a DTL show!
​
Draw the Line features lead vocalist Neill Byrnes, a true Steven Tyler doppelgänger . Neill won a Steven Tyler lookalike contest during Aerosmith’s Pump tour, which would end up kickstarting his 30 plus year career as Steven Tyler. He has appeared on talk shows, tv commercials, done voice overs and movies. He recently appeared in the 2020 Lynyrd Skynyrd biopic “Street Survivors” as Steven Tyler.
​
Draw the Line, in addition to Neill, boasts some incredibly talented musicians completing the Aerosmith line-up:
​
​Jim Dennis (Brad Whitford)
Barry Johnson (Tom Hamilton)
John Myslinski (Joey Kramer)
Together, these five talented musicians perfectly recreate the sound, energy, and vibe of an Aerosmith concert; if you love Aerosmith, this is a show you Don’t Wanna Miss!
