Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• District OKs $1.64M contract for CCHS amenities building (concordbridge.org) — Concord and Carlisle have officially approved a $1.64 million contract to build a permanent, ADA-compliant amenities building at Concord-Carlisle High School's Memorial Field, replacing the current portable toilets. Funded largely by Concord's Community Preservation Act money and Carlisle's share, plus a state earmark, the project is expected to stay within budget while adding restrooms, concessions, and storage for school and community events.
• Carly Pearce Pulled A Concord, Massachusetts Dad Onstage At Hampton Beach (wokq.com) — A Concord dad, Chris Cherry, got an unforgettable moment when Carly Pearce pulled him onstage at her August 14 Hampton Beach show to duet on his favorite song, "My Place." Encouraged by a handmade sign from his 7-year-old daughter, the longtime singer and church worship leader ended up performing an entire verse, leaving Concord with a hometown voice in the spotlight.
• Henry David Thoreau, Scientist (flaglerlive.com) — Concord's own Walden Pond and the Concord River watershed take center stage in a fresh look at Henry David Thoreau as a rigorous scientist, not just a nature writer. The piece traces how his meticulous measurements around Concord's lakes, glaciers, and rivers helped pioneer limnology and early environmental assessment, reshaping how we understand both Walden and modern environmental science.
