Welcome to CCRA This Week: Events & Happenings

As we described last week, CCRA This Week as you’ve known it is now a bi-weekly affair. What you’re looking at is its bi-weekly replacement, a list of events and happenings with the accent on the local.

We’ve received many kind and heartfelt notes about this change, for which we are extremely grateful. Such sentiments mean a great deal to us, as does supporting our local arts and retail neighbors. Let’s keep this a two-way street: Please do send us event listings for all your faves!
