1. The week wraps up in Wilmington with some cloudy skies. According to Weather.com, temperatures climb up to 45° to close out the week. There is a 50 percent chance of rain on the day as showers are possible later in the day.

2. Music will fill the normally quiet library on Friday. The New England Tenors will sing two 45 minute sets at Wilmington Memorial Library with a break in between. Most songs will be well known standards, Broadway tunes, etc. with a few holiday carols. Tickets cost $15 each and include a glass of wine, coffee and dessert. You must be 21 or older to attend the event, which begins at 7 p.m.

3. In case you missed it, flames gutted a North Street home on Thursday afternoon. Firefighters received a call from a neighbor just after 11 a.m. and the fire had spread throughout the house by the time crews arrived soon after. Though the house was still standing when the smoke settled, it was a total loss and will likely be demolished within the next few days.
