We’re building legacies, and celebrating the ones already here. 

Including the 6th, 7th, and 8th generations of farmers growing blueberries for the pick your own season in Granville. But you can tell by the name of Maple Corner Farm that’s not all they do, so we brave the mountain to get a glimpse of the sweet blue treats and hear all the pots that the Ripley Family has put their farm’s proverbial fingers into

We’ll also hear from maestro Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops. This coming season will be his 30th at the institution, and the milestone is being celebrated at the end of this Tanglewood season. But we’ll learn from the man himself what’s changed about the orchestra, his style, and himself over the course of those three decades, and where he sees it going in the fourth. 

And in Westfield this weekend, one of the coolest organizations ever to be endorsed by a former president is bucking the 5k and golf standard to hold a pickleball fundraiser. The Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity is hosting this fun event on Sunday, but it turns out that neither Aimee Giroux and Brandy O’Brien of that great organization, nor we at the Fab 413 know how to play this game at all! So we bring in an expert, Owen Fernandez of the Picklr Westfield, to help us get ready for the competition.
