The Midsummer Dream Festival on Merrimack Street this coming Saturday is still looking for volunteers to help with set up, take down, and various tasks during the day. Do you enjoy playing with kids? (You can help out with dress-up and wand making during the afternoon.) Have you always wanted to play with PVC pipe and connectors as if they were tinker toys? (You can help build a giant maze that morning.) More bodies means less work and more fun for everyone. Please consider signing up.

Or build a fairy house; there’s still time. Or chip in to fund this entirely free, volunteer-run event.

If none of those appeal to you, just come have fun! A proper schedule of events should be appearing on the festival site over the next few days.

And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you combine a lifelong seamstress/costumer and onetime belly dancer with a magical-creature-themed festival, now’s your chance to see me as a dancing centaur from 2:00 to 3:00. And please, someone, I need video of this!
