This is an awesome venue with a small crowd with top end performances. Kudos to all the actors and actresses that have participated in the 2024 season. You all did a fabulous job. I'd also like to thank The Wonderette's for including me in their performance, it will be the highlight of my Christmas season. Thank you very much.. As for the venue, they have a small gift shop with wonderful trinkets to remember your time at the theater. The box office is usually open at the beginning of any performances last minute tickets sales are usually available. There was also a wonderful snack bar with some great homemade goodies and drinks. The staff is always very polite and accommodating. I highly advise anyone that has not visited to make it a point to purchase some tickets to a show here you will be very pleased. FYI, I believe it's only on street parking. Just come a little bit early to secure a spot on the street close to the theater.

They're located on the backside of Swampscott Middle School and the friendly volunteers told me that they've been open for four years. They operate to raise funds for the Swampscott school system. This place is awesome - they have mostly clothes for adults and kiddos, with some small home goods and a smattering of other random items. I got some great stuff and all on the cheap - 2 pair of pants, 2 workout tops, a pair of boots, a backpack, and a couple small decorative items, all for about $20. I'll be visiting this store again, and I hope you will, too! Word to the wise, they're only open Wed mornings and Saturdays until 1 and they seem to be cash only (tho I didn't verify this).

I was one of the venders at this yearly festival. I saw their advertising in Craig's list and…read moreinquired about it. I was contacted very promptly by the organizers. One of the reasons that I wanted to participate in this event was that I'm new here and need to promote my work in the area. The fact that it cost very little to be a vender helped very much. The organizer Carol was on top of everything very well. I was kept very well informed with all that was going on. This was a wonderful festival, they had pony rids, train ride, pumpkin decorating and many more activity. There was a stage with people of all ages first to exhibit their talent with dancing then musicians of all kind. Having the weather being absolutely awesome was the bonus for the day. My only regret was my daughter is now fully grown and I couldn't share the activities with her. I'm very happy to have participated in this fair. I met many people who stopped by to first see what I was showcasing then to meet me. A big hooray for Carol and all the volunteers of this town.

The staff is more than wonderful; they go out of their way to make the residents happy and comfortable. Whenever my mom needs assistance with anything, someone is always there to help. The director, Barbara, is a godsend; she has gone out of her way to help my mom adjust with her new living environment. Barbara has helped me with many tasks as I live in another state and can't always be available when my mom needs assistance. Mom says the food is delicious and frequently there are delicious home baked treats for dessert. I especially like that the residence is small and has a homey feel. When searching for a residence for my mom, I looked at many places. I believe Sutton Home was definitely the right choice.

As far as I'm aware, communication was good and planned months if not a year in advanced. There's a full bar to make almost any drink you'd want. They wouldn't allow open bar for liability concerns but the prices were less than $10 a drink. One bartender was nicer than the other but overall friendly people. For food they set up a cheese and crackers table with fruits and vegetables to pick from as well. I liked the variety of options they had but I did notice some of the cheese had blue spots of mold on them. At the end of the day, I found out they were horrified and compensated for the whole set. They even showed the cheese packaging which was not even close to expired. We appreciated their response and fortunately nobody appeared to have gotten sick. Catered food was a garden and Cesar salad, chicken broccoli and ziti, meatballs, chicken tenders, and an assortment of deli sandwiches. I liked the meatballs the most and the rest was okay. Overall, the place could use an update but we had a good time. Would coordinate more events with them in the future.

I met Donna, the founder and director, via a local Facebook group and immediately was impressed and inspired by her mission to help children, parents and families of our community. God bless her, her husband and the volunteers that are making her passion for loving kids into a real tangible community support organization. I went by the location today (used to be Burlington Food pantry) and was so happy to see the thought and organization put into making a dignified, free shopping experience for children and their families to get their essential needs and much more taken care of. They take donations (I dropped off some gently used toys) and make them into answered prayers. If you are in search or in need of something for your family, call to book a private appointment for free shopping. Wee Care Burlington has so much to offer!
