| | | | |  I'm not sure you can label this August the "dog days" of summer. It's been a wonderfully cool and low humidity summer so far. Great for swimming and sleeping! Worcester Commons (behind City Hall) will definitely not be sleeping this Saturday. The Worcester Latin American Festival returns from Noon to 9 PM. Great music, food, booths, etc. And it's free! The Worcester Latin American Festival is produced by Centro Las Americas and our friend Dolly Vazquez. Check it out. Gerry Weston General Manager |
