Join us for a roughly 4 mile loop hike, where we’ll start from the Heritage Park Trailhead and follow a wide rolling path up to and through Steere Hill, the highest point of the Steere Hill Conservation Area property. This is considered a moderate hike and will take roughly 2 hours. On this wide and quiet trail, you’ll feel like you’re far away from all the troubles of the world. Visit https://wrwc.org/ for information and registration.

•Almost, Maine – a real romantic comedy, will be performed at the Stadium Theatre from January 13th to January 16th! Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. Almost, Maine will be performed on Thursday, January 13th at 7:30 PM, Friday January 14th at 7:30 PM, and Sunday January 16th at 2 PM. The show will be held at The Stadium Theatre, located at 28 Monument Square, Woonsocket Rhode Island. Admission is $31. Tickets are available at the Stadium Theatre Box Office or by calling 401-7624545 and online at www.stadiumtheatre.com The Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre offers outstanding local, regional, nationally and internationally renowned live entertainment in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
