Things to do in July 2017:

Catch a Bravehearts game

Enjoy America’s favorite pastime at Hanover Insurance Park! The Bravehearts are the reigning champions of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL), and half the team is comprised of local players. Tickets are reasonable and a game is the quintessential summer experience.
