(so excited to think about Honk! - here is another Somerville fall tradition:)

September is here and that means it’s time for Fluff! September 28th is the 8th annual What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention.

Produced by Union Square Main Streets, "What the Fluff" doesn’t just celebrate the genius of Archibald Query, who invented Fluff here in Union Sq. in 1917. It also celebrates the creativity of the artists, musicians, bakers, and other citizens who join together to celebrate our hometown sweet in the most memorable ways. This year’s theme is “Fluff Around the World” which will open up many culinary possibilities!

Volunteers are needed for two-hour shifts in a wide variety of tasks – from the penny candy booth to kiddie games to the cooking contest, there are jobs to fit every personality. There are opportunities for friends to work together, and for mature children to work with their parents.

The Festival is at Union Square Somerville on September 28th from 3 to 7 PM, with volunteers needed from noon until 8 PM. To sign up or to find out more, please contact Karin at volunteer@unionsquaremain.org

Concord grapes are in

Not a whole lot this year, but there are certainly some! Concord grapes don't ripen after being picked, so please only take the dark blue ones. If you don't know where, message me with your email. I don't need to be home for you to come get them, but the furniture out there is NOT MINE - if you must stand on it, please take off your shoes or put down newspaper. Your best bet is to bring a box to stand on. They should be ripening for a few weeks yet. I can't reserve them for you. I think that's all the usual questions!

Who does bike fittings around here?

I'm tired of riding bikes that don't fit. I've gotten advice for fitting a bike myself, measuring myself in all sorts of ways, but I'd prefer to just have a professional do it. I'm not shopping for a $1000+ bike, though. My bike budget is going to be around $500.
