Fireworks light the night skyWhat’s the Fourth of July without fi reworks?

After all, John Adams practically decreed in 1776 that the Fourth of July “...ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfi res, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other...”

And who are we 21st century Ameri-cans to refute him?

Leominster skies will shine a bit ear-lier than most. Fireworks serve as the conclusion to the annual Starburst festivities, to be held Saturday, June 15 at Doyle Field. The gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and the fi rst event will begin at 5 p.m. Performers include Leominster High School Jazz Band and the All-City Youth Concert Band.

The grand fi nale will be the fi re-works extravaganza set to a “Pops” style concert performed by the 40-piece Starburst Band. The band will perform numerous familiar songs including a medley from the James Bond movies

and the Broadway shows, “Oliver!” and “A Chorus Line.”

A very special year-long celebration of Millbury’s bicentennial comes to an offi cial end with fi reworks.

Millbury Lions Club and Millbury Bicentennial Committee co-sponsor the fi reworks, to be held July 3 and 4 from 9:30-11 p.m. at Windle Field.

Rutland’s July 3 fi reworks display will be held at the conclusion of the 7 p.m. concert on the town common, starting at 9:20 p.m. on Memorial Field behind the DPW barn.

Worcester’s July 3 fi reworks will be held at 9:30 p.m. at Cristoforo Colombo Park (East Park) on Shrewsbury Street, concluding the Massachusetts Symphony Orches-tra’s 8-10 p.m. family concert.

And for New England’s most spec-tacular fi reworks display, follow the crowds on July 4 to Boston’s Esplanade along the Charles River. The concert

begins at 8:20 p.m., concluding with Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” at 9:30 p.m. And then one of the country’s most famous fi reworks fi ll the sky with style.

Family Fun Day and Fireworks will be held Saturday, June 29 at the Spencer Fairgrounds, with a rain date of Sunday, June 30.

Admission and parking are free; gates open at noon.

Start the day by attending the fi retruck and car show parade at noon starting at David Prouty High School.

Kids will love the Touch a Truck

event, where kids get a chance to get behind the wheel and rub elbows with their hometown heroes. Come climb on and explore your favorite vehicles including big rigs, fi re engines, police cars, ambulances and construction trucks.

Spencer Fire Association will be host-ing a chicken barbecue and vendors will be selling traditional fair food.

After games and band performances, the day will end with fi reworks at 9:30pm.

Fireworks burst with patriotism and pride.

Weekend in WachusettThe Wachusett region may be best known for the delights of winter, spring and fall, fun on the slopes, the lovely apple

blossom season and leaf peeping. Summer may be the most underrated time of year for the towns surrounding Wachusett Mountain, but that’s all the more reason you should get out and enjoy the surroundings before the apple-picking hordes return.

Mass. Central Rail TrailSterling, Holden, Rutland. For entry points and to plan your route, check maps at wachu-settgreenways.org.

A massive volunteer effort by individu-als, property owners, government agencies and Wachusett Greenways, the Mass. Central Rail Trail traces the path of the an old railroad that was destroyed by the hurricane of 1938.

About 25 miles of the old 104 east-west network are available for hikers, joggers, cyclists or baby carriage pushers.

Many of the trails are wide and fl at enough that small children can use them to learn to ride their bikes. The woodsy walks often pay off in beautiful vistas of lake, stream or glimpses of Wachusett Moun-tain. An early morning stroll will reveal a plethora of changing scents, fresh water, pine trees and warm, swampy smells.

All parts of the trail are free, however, not all parts connect; some may require that you hoof it on a public road for a while.

AntiquingTruly an addictive activity, but also some-thing of a misnomer. Many of the antique

stores in the area have stock that meet the must-be-100-year-old criterion, but also carry plenty of fun and funky items such as ceramic roosters, refurbished light-ing and mid-century pieces that look like they came straight from a 1960s Barbie’s Dreamhouse.

SuttonThe Town of Sutton, just a brief trip from Worcester along Route 146,

has many places to consider touring this summer.Purgatory Chasm State Park, 198 Purgatory Rd., features a number of scenic hiking trails along a series of granite walls that rise as tall as 70 feet. A number of unique rock formations, a helpful Visitor’s Center and well-maintained picnic areas offer scenic views and plenty of outdoor adventure.

The park also has a modern playground equipped with a play structure, swings, and merry-go-round to keep young visitors entertained.

It is recommended that visitors wear rubber-soled shoes or hiking boots.

Cooling off in the summer is as easy as a trip to Sutton Town Beach at Marion’s Camp, Tuttle Road.

The beach will open daily Saturday, June 15 – Mon-day, Sept. 2 (Labor Day) with on-duty lifeguards, 12-6 p.m. Beach passes for Sutton residents are $25, Millbury residents are $50 and all others are $75.

Beach passes may be purchased at Town Hall during regular business hours, at the Beach during open hours, or online at: suttonma.org/Pages/SuttonMA_Rec/beaches.

Three two-week sessions of swim lessons will be held

this summer. Lessons are held Monday – Thursday with Friday as a rain date. Levels run from preschool through level 4 (stroke development). Additional information and registration forms can be found by visiting suttonma.org/Pages/SuttonMA_Rec/beaches or calling 508-865-8732.

One venue to keep your eye on is Waters Farm, 53 Waters Rd. Overlooking scenic Lake Manchaug, Waters Farm is a historic landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.

Come visit the farm on July 14 and August 11, 12-3 p.m. to tour the 1757 Waters House. Ken Ethier of Waters Farm will be present to lead “walkabout” tours of the property. He will explain the quarrying of granite and the making of charcoal, which were activities that were car-ried out on the farm.

It is a great opportunity to picnic in one of the most beautiful rural areas in the state.

Check back at watersfarm.com for plenty of more events coming this year.

Purgatory Chasm offers woods and rock formations to explore.
