The Auburndale Community Library is the center of activity for Village Day: Craft a watermelon out of paper. Paint a rock for the library's garden. Settle in for a story time at 11 AM for little ones. And if your kids (5 and older) don't have their own library cards yet, they can stop in, and become a card-carrying member of the best community library in Newton.

This sweet village bakery will be open and offering a value priced $4 muffin and coffee special from 10-12.

Just Next Door's Sidewalk Sale happens only once a year, and after getting a sneak peek at some of this year's sale items, we saw lots of great deals on seasonal merchandise like toys, home accessories, and clothing marked down 50%! Sale begins on Thursday August 24 and runs through Saturday the 26th.

Ice cream for breakfast? Heck, yeah! Summer's coming to close and we're not letting it go quietly. Wally's Wicked Good Ice Cream is opening early on Saturday for a little frozen goodness for breakfast. Cone or cup? Sprinkles? How about an ice cream sandwich cookie? It's all part of Wally's breakfast menu this Saturday.  They'll be offering some other fun surprises, too, for Village Day.

Have any budding artists in your family? On Saturday morning Bird in Hand tattoos the walkway at the library and invites kids of all ages to come by, help color in the sidewalk art, or create their own art!

Grab a special $49.99 deal on kids' photos before they head back to school. Professional photographer, Christine Demura can take photos outside during the Village Day or in her studio on Auburn St. If you don't want to disrupt the kid's fun with a photo sesh, she'll also be offering discount coupons during Village Day for photos on another day. Pets welcome, too! For day-of photos, sign up for a session on their website!

Free dessert with lunch? Oh yeah. Grab lunch on Saturday from Auburndale's own Italian bistro and get a free cannoli with your order. Eat inside, outside, or pick up to take home!
