This weekend

Here's another item that didn't make the paper. I'm guessing you should probably bring an umbrella, but I've been meaning to go on one of these myself:

Second Saturday Hillsborough Guided Walking Tour — 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 14. The tour starts at the Alexander Dickson House, 150 E. King St. Explore Hillsborough's history on a 90-minute guided walking tour through its historic district. $5. For more information call 732-7741 or visit www.historichillsborough.org.

• Also, among the town board "leftovers" from last week — and this is going up on our Web site today, too — Town Planning Director Margaret Hauth told town board members this week that the Gold Park opening has been pushed back about a month, to mid-April, because of jurisdiction issues. So, she asks that people don't use the park just yet — it can be enjoyed in another month, when it will likely be warm for good.

(We have received quite a few walk-ins asking about when it will open, but my favorite has to be Town Manager Eric Peterson's daughter. While speaking to Peterson the other week, he told me his young daughter has been asking him almost daily about the park for a few months, imploring him to ask the town staff to let it open. So, long story short, it's almost open.)
