This summer offers several opportunities for public attendance at training sessions of the New England Patriots, but the only Friday and Saturday on the schedule happen this weekend. No need to take a vacation day or to call in sick to see your favorite football team get ready for its season!
This weekend is also full of free concert opportunities. There's rap at Summer Sounds in Medfield, acoustic folk and pop at Adams Farm in Walpole, Jazz in Cambridge and Big Band in Norwood. Make it into your own musical tour. You can take in the tunes in Medfield and Walpole on Saturday. Then on Sunday, trek to Cambridge in the afternoon and head back to Norwood in the evening!
