New England Wireless and Steam Museum Virtual Yankee Steam-Up

For 56 years, the New England Wireless and Steam Museum has been inviting engineering and historical enthusiasts to witness the fantastical sight of its Providence-made steam engines all running at once, and to bring their own (smaller) machines. This Saturday (10/3), the Yankee Steam-Up will go virtual. The museum will be streaming videos on Youtube that show off its room-sized steam engines, cathode ray tubes, wireless telegraph sets, and more. Anyone with a mechanical, or artistic, mindset should take a peek, and ask any questions of the volunteers in the chat stream. 

Fall Open Air Pop Up Market at Spill the Tea

There is just something about this time of year that makes you want to be outside and enjoying wonderful local products. Spill the Tea, the tea bar just over the EG line in Cowesett (4372 Post Road), is hosting a pop-up farmers market Sunday (10/4) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Among the vendors will be PVD donuts, Ladylove Lamas, Soulita Soap, Le Chat Noir Tarot, Hocus Pocus Farm, Anchored by Art, Bobs Blankets, and Water Way Farm, to name a few.
