Glasgow Lands Fest – Saturday

My favorite parts of the Glasgow Fest, now in its 23rd year, are the feats of strength competitions. The caber is the best; it’s basically a giant log toss. I’m also looking forward to chekcing out the ScreamingOrphans, a punk Celtic band. The fest is Saturday, rain or shine, at Look Park in Northampton, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. $5-$16.
