1. Clouds: Clouds are expected to dominate the sky on Friday, with temperatures in the 70s and less humidity. The son may peek through and there’s a chance of a shower in the afternoon too.

3. Seniors: Congressman John Tierney will be hosting a Medicare seminar for about 50 seniors, plus Council on Aging directors from Essex County, at the Hamilton Senior Center on Route 1A on Friday at 11:30 a.m. along with State Rep. Brad Hill. The seminar will discuss “observation” versus “inpatient” status and how it affects seniors financially. The session will be followed by a light lunch.

4. Chicken: In the off chance you own a chicken costume, Friday is a great day to put it to use. Anyone who shows up at Chick-Fil-A, with a local location at the North Shore Mall in Peabody, on Friday fully dressed as a cow for Cow Appreciation Day, will get a free meal.
