5 Things To Know Today: June 29

Summertime At Mohr: Marian J. Mohr Library hosts two summer programs today:

• The first story time of the summer for infants to 3-year-olds at 10:30 a.m.
• Outdoor Grilling at 5 p.m. hosted by Linda Couture of The Stirring Spoon.

And don't forget to sign up your little readers for the library's "One World, Many Stories" summer reading program.

Practice Your Steps: The senior center is scheduled to host another ballroom dancing session today at 1 p.m. Membership to the center — including use of its exercise room and other programs — is $10 per year.

Learn Some History: Almost everyone in the area knows about Yacht Club Soda, the beverage company nestled into Centredale. But do you know the real story? You will if you attend the Johnston Historical Society's general meeting tonight at 7, where Bill Sgambato is scheduled to talk about the company.

Kicks And Lobs: Johnston Parks and Recreation is still accepting registration for its youth tennis and youth soccer programs. Follow the links for more info.

Hair Band: No, I'm not talking about elastics that hold up ponytails — not long ago, in a time called the 80s, men with long hair screamed primal anthems over thundering drums and wailing guitars. One of the more famous examples was Don Dokken, who was born on this date in 1953.
