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).

2024-11-22 19:00 - 20:30 | First Parish Church, Lexington Road, Concord, Massachusetts, 01742, United States
In Celebration of Lexington 250, Voices on the Green will present 4 special shows of storytelling and music with themes that reflect the events of 250 years ago at First Parish in Lexington, 7 Harrington Road.
The First Show—November 22, 2024—will center on the theme “Better Together,” focusing on stories and songs of interdependence.
The Second Show—April 4, 2025—will center on the theme “On Our Own” and will focus on stories and songs of independence.
The Third and Fourth Shows—November 11, 2025 and April 11, 2026—will focus on themes that will emerge during the upcoming celebrations. We invite everyone to attend in person and have sought a grant to make each program available online.
What is Voices on the Green?
Voices on the Green presents unique evenings of true, personal stories, complementary music, and the opportunity to meet those who make up our community. Since 2017 Voices on the Green has held these evenings at our historic First Parish Church on the Lexington Battle Green. Each one knits the strands of diverse individuals and experiences into a unifying theme. We share the proceeds of each show with a local organization whose values and mission serve Lexington and the surrounding communities.
What will the First Show—on November 22, 2024—be about?
Reflecting the events of 1775, when disparate militia and community groups were gathering together to better prepare themselves for what might lie ahead, this show centers on the theme “Better Together.” We will invite people who live or work in Lexington to share their stories about being better together to celebrate or protest, to build or dissolve, to remember or forget, to invent or recover, to find joy or escape trauma, to combat injustice or work for peace.
If you have a story to share, please contact us.

Daniel O’Donnell Cary Memorial Hall
2024-11-24 15:00 - 17:00 | Lexington’s Cary Memorial Hall, 1605 Mass Ave, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
Daniel O’Donnell’s remarkable career has moved on to a new level with his success as a TV presenter, just another facet to his ever-expanding list of entertainment achievements.
The Donegal based singer, who is one of the most prolific and successful recording artists in the UK charts, is the only artist in the world to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988, an unprecedented and unbroken 35-year span, and in doing so, he has outshone everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna, to U2 and the Rolling Stones.
Daniel’s latest “I Wish You Well’ released on 4 Nov ’22, entered the official UK Album Charts at #16, a great achievement in itself In a very competitive week, especially when you take into account that the main chart is collated from CD, Vinyl and Digital/Streaming sales, but not only that, in the CD-only Chart, Daniel entered at #5, ahead of Taylor Swift and The Beatles !! and entered the Independent Albums chart at #2.
Including this latest release, Daniel has now amassed 48 Top 75 albums, including 42 Top 40 albums, 30 Top 30 & 20 Top 10 albums, with 18 of the latter being this century, a feat that has not been achieved by any other recording artist, and has now sold well in excess of 15 million worldwide.
He has sold more than 4.6 million albums & videos / DVDs in the UK alone since the start of this millennium, and more than 6.6 million units since The Official Charts Company/Chart Information Network took over the running of the charts in 1994.
‘Daniel O’Donnell 60’, released in celebration of his 60th birthday in 2021, shot straight into the chart at #4, keeping good company with the likes of The Beatles, Adele and Coldplay. As with the ‘Daniel’ album before it, this recording was produced by legendary record producer Nigel Wright, who co-produced the recordings of many of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals, including the film versions of Evita and The Phantom of the Opera, along with many artist albums and TV music shows.
Daniel has also achieved eight number one hits in the UK music video/DVD charts over the length of his career, makes regular appearances in the Billboard World Music Chart, received an honorary MBE from Queen Elizabeth, appeared on Top of the Pops, had his life celebrated on This Is Your Life, been given the Freedom of Donegal, has been inducted into Ireland’s Music Hall of Fame, and received multiple Entertainer of the Year/Person of the Year Awards in Ireland and the UK – to mention but a few of the many accolades.
Daniel also burst into superstardom in the USA & Canada back in 2002 with his first ever PBS special – The Daniel O’Donnell Show. That began a special relationship between Daniel and PBS that has now lasted some 20 years. Since that first airing, Daniel has had fifteen more specials, with ‘Daniel O’Donnell & Special Guests’ being his record breaking sixteenth, which was filmed at the Millennium Forum in Derry and which is currently still airing on many PBS channels throughout the USA. Daniel’s seventeenth special, is in he planning stages and should be aired sometime in the spring of 2023.
Daniel has always had very high viewership ratings in pledge drives across the USA for public service television, and as a result of this and his many other activities in America, his popularity there has grown substantially over the years.
