Page 18 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, April 19, 2024 Dave’s Hot Chicken becomes World Series Park sponsor (Editor’s Note: The following info is from a press release issued by World Series Park this week.) W orld Series Park in Saugus depends on the support of Saugus businesses. Many Saugus businesses purchase advertising signs each season. People who come to the park are encouraged to support these businesses, since without the support of these sponsors the park wouldn’t be possible. World Series Park hosts over 250 games each season. Dave’s Hot Chicken recently became a World Series Park sponsor. Dave’s Hot Chicken, a national restaurant company, recently opened at 890 Broadway in Saugus, just beyond Kowloon. Their menu includes chicken tenders, sliders, sandwiches, fries and many side dishes, all with differing levels of spiciness. Dave’s offers both dine-in and take-out and is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday-Sunday 11 a.m. to midnight. The owners of Dave’s Hot Chicken believe in supporting the community by not only providing good food at reasonable prices but also supporting causes that make Saugus a better place to live, like World Series Park, which provides a great facility for the youngsters of Saugus to play baseball. “We very much appreciate SUPPORTING LOCAL BASEBALL: Left to right: Dave’s Hot Chicken District Manager Rick Soltes and Saugus store manager Jairo Perez with their sign that is displayed at World Series Park.

We’re looking to collect anything, from old books to CDs to DVDs to vinyl records and cassettes. People have a lot of stuff that they need to get rid of. You know, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It is a Used Physical Media Fair where we will be selling used physical media like DVDs, books, CDs, vinyl records, cassettes, VHS tapes and game disks to raise money for our native garden that we are planting. info, see the Tickets page on the TCS website: tcsaugus. org/tickets.

For Potterphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, Puffs exudes a jovial winking fondness for all things Harry!” For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain wizard school and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there, too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. Third or Nothing! The upstairs performance space is not wheelchair accessible, but it features a bar with soft and alcoholic drinks available at very reasonable prices. “Puffs” is directed for TCS The fair itself will be on June 1st, location is TBD.
