But first...

* We deliver a passionate pep talk about Children and the Arts Day and MAKE OUR CASE FOR THROWING A PARTY

* This includes moral exhortation -- it is, indeed, your responsibility to your fellow citizens to go to this party

* Find out exclusive details, hear the wild promises, and discover what you DON'T want to miss out on

* We also recount this week's DELIGHTFUL and CLASSIC lawnmowing post in the Peterborough group (yes, we talk about the bees again)

* And finally, we round out the episode with an ultrafast TOWN MEETING roundup -- including a sneak peak a Chris' analyical essay examining this year's process and what it means and what it says about ALL OF US
