Good morning, Burlington!

This Saturday at the high school, Indian Americans of Greater Boston will be holding a celebration for Republic Day. The event spans the afternoon and evening and will involve competitions in such varied categories as art, storytelling, math Jeopardy, and the board game, carrom, as well as a fashion show and Junior Shark Tank. Attendance is free, and there will be a number of booths set up for education and shopping.

Republic Day celebrates the day in 1950 when India’s constitution went into effect after nearly a hundred years of British rule.

Friday Funny

Thanks to Bill Boivin for this one. He must now how much I adore pollinators. I’m such a nerd.

By the way, if you’ve got jokes or pictures you’d like to see in the Buzz (Or puzzles and games! I’m not giving up on that!) please send them my way.

That’s all for me today. Have a lovely Friday!
