Here are five things you should know about for this weekend in Barrington. The weather forecast is promising for another great fall weekend:

  1. You can drop off clean, gently used winter coats, hats and gloves from 9 am to noon at two Barrington churches on Saturday, Oct. 20: St. Luke’s on Washington Road and Holy Angels on Maple Avenue. It’s a coat drive by Boy Scout Troop 6 and the Knights of Columbus.
  2. The Friends of the Barrington Library host a rare classical concert on Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 pm that pays tribute to a former library director: “The Ruth Corkill Program: Strange and New Horizons.” It highlights the annual meeting of the group.
  3. The Go Local Farmers’ Market in Barrington continues at Barrington Congregational Church on Saturday through the end of October from 9 am to noon.
  4. You can mix with Barrington's Republican candidates and U.S. Senate candidate Barry Hinckley on Sunday, Oct. 21, at a reception and wine tasting from 2 to 4 pm at Grapes & Grains, 24 Bosworth St.
  5. The annual Pumpkin Junction at St. John's Episcopal Church -- the "Red Church" -- on County Road continues every day through Halloween. Stop by this weekend and pick up some of the orange gourds for your home.
