Today in Lawrence: More fresh goods for summer, and an insight into art
Blue skies
Looks like we have a trend: Once again the sun and clouds will alternate, and we’ll have the possibility of a thunderstorm or shower in the afternoon. With a high of 86 and little wind, it’s going to be warm! Get the complete forecast for today and the coming weekend.
Cottin’s market
In the parade of fresh summer produce, another market is in the mix. Stop by Cottin’s Hardware Farmers’ Market from 4 to 6:30 p.m. outside the store at 1832 Massachusetts St. Find a list of vendors on the Cottins website, and find out more about the market in Linda Cottin’s blog on WellCommons.
Art insight
Looking to delve a little deeper into art? Get some insight. Lawrence Arts Center presents an Insight Arts Talk with printmaking artist in residence John Paul McCaughey at 7 p.m. at Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. McCaughey will discuss how seemingly unimportant information informs our life experience.
