Juneteenth, observed on June 19, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a vital day of reflection and education. This year, the federal holiday creates a long weekend, with many public offices and banks closed in observance. To continue honoring this legacy, join us for the community celebration in Andover on Saturday, June 20. We will gather at 34 Bartlet St. starting at 4:00 pm to reflect, learn, and unite. We look forward to seeing you there to mark this significant moment in our history together. 🗓

🌤️ New England Weekend Weather Outlook! Fingers Crossed

New Englanders, get ready for a beautiful long holiday weekend! After a stormy setup on Thursday with possible strong thunderstorms, damaging wind gusts, heavy downpours, and lightning, the weekend looks much better.

✅ Friday: Sunny, breezy, comfortable, highs in the low 80s
✅ Saturday: Starts sunny, some clouds later, small chance of a quick shower
✅ Sunday: More clouds, cooler along the coast, but still good for outdoor plans

And here’s the big moment: astronomical summer officially begins Sunday at 4:24 AM, bringing us the longest day of the year. ☀️

Enjoy the weekend, stay weather-aware on Thursday, and keep an umbrella ready for Monday when much-needed soaking rain moves in.
