Try Some Old-Fashioned Fun This Weekend

Five things to keep you busy this weekend.

 

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.

Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-work-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit and events to explore.

1. SLEDDING

Where/When: Take advantage of the recent snowfall, grab your sled and head to the Town Common for some old-fashioned, free fun.

Why Go: Get the kids — and yourself — out of the house.

Pricing: Totally free.

2. BOWL A STRING

Where/When: Candlewood Lanes, 35 Main St., daily, noon to 6:15 p.m.

Why Go: If the weather outside is too frightful, head to Candlewood Lanes and bowl a couple of strings with friends and family.

3. WATCH THE SUPER BOWL

Where/When: Sports, Spirits and Steaks, 178 Main St., opens daily at 11 a.m.

Why Go: Watch Sunday’s big game on one of their 60 plasma televisions, or try your skill at a game of pool.

Pricing: Varies by meal.

4. VISIT THE LIBRARY

Where/When: Flint Memorial Library, 147 Park St., Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Why Go: Stop by the library and view wood engravings by Anna Hogan that are on display in the library’s Reading Room. Creations by the Needle Arts Craft Group — including baby blankets, scarves, shrugs, camisoles, and more — also will be on display in the glass cases.

Pricing: Free.

5. SKATE THE DAY AWAY

Where/When: Burbank Ice Arena, 51 Symonds Way, Reading, Friday, noon to 1:50 p.m., Sunday, 6-7:50 p.m.

Why Go: Don't want to make the long drive to the Frog Pond in Boston to go skating? Just head one town over for some cheap indoor public ice time.

Pricing: $5 for adults, $4 for students and seniors over 60. Skate rentals are $5 a pair.
