Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Danvers Raising Electric Rates, Worrying Residents (iheart.com) — Danvers residents will see their municipal electric bills rise by nearly $12 a month starting now, after the town's light board approved a rate increase to cover higher power supply costs. Local customers are split between frustration and understanding, while officials say they're monitoring global energy prices heading into winter and stress the hike isn't meant to generate profit.
• The Weekender, Oct. 8-11: 2026 Milford Pumpkin Festival, Napoleon Dynamite Live, Hallo-Qween Dance Party + more » Nashua Ink Link (inklink.news) — True crime fans in and around Danvers can dive into CrimeStery Fest 2026 this Friday through Sunday at the DoubleTree Boston North Shore, with podcasters, authors, forensic experts, panels, and interactive experiences. The broader Weekender guide also highlights pumpkin festivals, movie nights, fashion shows, and Halloween-themed events across New Hampshire and the region for the October 8–11 stretch.
• Crystal ball time: Week 5 high school football Pickorama (bostonherald.com) — High school football pickers note that Marblehead canceled last week's scheduled game against Danvers after the death of Magicians captain Owen Coyne, and now returns to the field aiming to honor him. The column surveys several key Week 5 matchups statewide, offering predictions and context on teams' early‑season fortunes. Danvers fans get a brief but meaningful mention amid broader coverage.
