Yes, I know this is outside Charlestown but many of us appreciate how the Mystic Aquarium releases rescued and rehabilitated seals on the beach in Charlestown. Despite rumor's to the contrary you won't have to pack a lunch to survive the long drive to Mystic.
The Seals on the Rocks fundraiser is Friday, June 29, starting at 7 pm.
