5 Things To Know Today: July 25

Exercise at the senior center; crafts at Mohr Library; farmer's market; volleyball; and today in history: Dylan goes electric.

Good Sweat: Not that my-gosh-it's-hot-out sweat, this is the it-feels-great-to-workout sweat — the senior center hosts Walk Away The Pounds today at 9 a.m. All you need is comfy walking shoes.

Make Something: Marian J. Mohr Library offers Family Drop-In Crafts today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A nice chance to stay cool and help the little ones create a masterpiece.

Buy Local: In this case, really local — Johnston Memorial Park is the site for a farmer's market today at 2 p.m. and scheduled for every Monday afternoon through Oct. 24. Hopkins Farm in North Scituate and White Oak Farm in Scituate are among the slated vendors.

Set And Spike: Also at the park, beginning at 6:30 p.m., the Johnston Rec Department's co-ed volleyball league takes over the tennis courts for what promises to be furious competition.

Electric? Not So Much: On this date in 1965, Bob Dylan played his now-infamous electric set at the Newport Folk Festival. It wasn't, shall we say, received very warmly at the time.
