Ancient Music Performances and Coastal Cleanup Volunteering
Stafford Springs is heading into a Great weekend with mostly sunny skies and high-signal events for the first two days. A rare ancient Greek lyre performance and seasonal apple picking anchor the schedule before rain showers likely arrive late in the weekend.
Highs range from 65 to 76 degrees, with mostly sunny conditions for the first two days of the weekend followed by likely rain showers on the final day. The best outdoor window is early on the first day, which brings the weekend's coolest overnight low of 47 degrees.
