Some of the many events worth going out for - in Plymouth and beyond. (See these events in calendar form.) Treat yourself to all the variety available to us and support the many who are also helping to keep the area thriving - artists/makers, farmers, people who often give their time to organize these activities so that we might all benefit.
One doesn't always have to buy something - we can engage our neighbors in discussion about what they're doing, what we're doing, what plants and animals they've seen in their travels, what's happening in the town...

Distant Mirrors by Ellen Driscoll
"The sculpture Distant Mirrors floats in the Providence canal; an archipelago of forms.The largest of these is a floating map of the 52 plots of land apportioned by Roger Williams to those who shared his conviction that church and state should be separate. This land, given to Williams under favorable terms by the Narragansetts, was distributed by him in such a way that no one would have advantage, or better land or water access, than any one else.
Sadly, this utopian community was not immune from the economic and political pressures of it's time - stressed from within by individual profit seeking, and from without by increasing animosities caused by white colonization of native populations -- the community was eventually destroyed -- acting as a haunting tale for our own time."
Tonite's event will include the official "launch" of the floating sculptures that constitute the piece as well as a "geographical tour" of the history behind and the local and global significance of Distant Mirrors by lead artist Ellen Driscoll and one of her collaborators on the project, Jennifer Smith.
