Who said the kids get to have all the fun? Here's the Parent Center's guide to local parent fun this week...

Okkerville River - Wednesday 10/8 8pm - Pearl Street
Americana Pop, which means good harmonies and a banjo. Really engaging group of fellas.

Boston Celtics - Wednesday 10/8 7pm - Mullins Center
That's right the Celts vs. Sixers here in Amherst. Why drive to Boston when you can walk to the Mullins Center?

McKeown plays an awesome guitar with a sound from the 40s & 50s updated to the new Millennium. She's great.
