THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FrIDAy, FEBrUAry 6, 2026 Page 11 SUPER BOWL | FROM PAGE 4 AFC Championship last week at his house in Saugus, and even though he described it as a strange game, he said the outcome was obviously awesome. Other Saugus residents are displaying their passion for their home team before the game on Sunday. At Kane’s Donuts in Saugus the Patriots fever was on full view in the display cases where donuts, decorated with red, white, and blue had writings like “Go Patriots” or “I love Drake Maye” on them. One of the Kane’s Donuts owners, Peter Delios, said they have challenged Raised Doughnuts & Cakes in Seattle to a wager based on Sunday’s game. If the Patriots win, Delios said, Raised must send a dozen of their best donuts to GARDENS | FROM PAGE 10 ings of snow, and icicles hang from the roof edges. The Saugus River, which is tidal up to this point and therefore contains some salt water and has varying depths throughout the day, has frozen over and been covered with snow, so in some places it is hard to tell where the water ends and the ground begins. It is challenging for the birds whose diet consists of fish or wetland plants that are not accessible in the frozen river, so they have flown off to warmer locations for the time being. THE SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 9 Pen to Paper writing workshop The library’s monthly “Pen to Paper” writing workshop – led by Laura Eisener – which usually takes place on the third Tuesday of each month, will be held on the fourth Tuesday, February 24, for this month only so as not to conflict with Mardi Gras and Chinese New Year events. The writing workshop is held in the Brooks Room at 6:30-7:30 p.m. and is free and open to any writers who would like to participate, no preregistration required.

This bet is part of a series of “donut-football” wagers Kane’s has been making, which also challenged shops in Los Angeles and Denver during the playoffs. Anyone warming up in the library may have noticed a new addition inside that offers a lot of promise for the spring. Up on the second floor is a new seed library. Head Reference Librarian Lisa LeJeune came up with this idea after hearing about them at a few other libraries. Lisa says, “We are starting this Seed Library so that people can take free seeds and start their own home gardens/ container gardens. We will have flower, herb, and vegetable seeds. Patrons may take up to 5 packets of seeds, and patrons can help themselves.” events are listed on the library’s website Events calAn “I Love Drake Maye” donut is displayed at Kane’s Donuts, 120 Lincoln Ave., in Saugus.
