Best bets: A movie and snacks, visiting author and Peggy Lee tribute

No April Fools here

Supporters of the Pocasset Community Center will hold a crafts fair and flea market from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 1, at the center, 314 Barlows Landing Road, Pocasset. The event will include sales of food, crafts, collectibles and more.

Dinner and a movie

The Woods Hole Film Festival series Dinner & A Movie continues at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 1, with the documentary feature film "The Long Rider" by Sean Cisterna. When Filipe Leite leaves his adoptive home of Canada, the aspiring journalist sets out on an epic quest to ride from Calgary to his family's home in Brazil — and later beyond — entirely on horseback. Inspired by Aimé Tschiffely's 1925 equestrian journey, Filipe's 8-year odyssey of over 25,000 kilometers across 12 international borders, sees the young immigrant battle intense heat, drought, speeding transport trucks, nature's wrath and corrupt border guards on his history-making long ride home. Culled from over 500 hours of never-before-seen-footage.

Screening will be held in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Redfield Auditorium, 45 Water St. Before the film, ticket holders are invited to Masterson Made in Woods Hole from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. for a light bite of apple cider and charcuterie at 89 Water St., Woods Hole. Tickets are $16 and $12 for film festival members, student/military $10. Tickets are on sale in advance via at www.woodsholefilmfestival.org and at the door. For more information, email info@woodsholefilmfestival.org or call 508-495-3456.

Featured will be songs from her new tribute album, "Fever: A Peggy Lee Celebration!" and will include two of Lee’s compositions that have never before been recorded.
