BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Fourth of July holiday weekend saw plenty of activity at Franklin Park in Boston Saturday.
Despite the less than stellar forecast, people took part in a walking club, running club, and yoga under the trees with Linda Wellness Warrior.
"I ask people to make a donation, but if people can’t afford it, I don’t turn anyone away," Linda told WBZ NewsRadio.

Nearby, J.J. stood under a tent with a barbecue rib in his hand.
"I’m testing it. You know, a cook has to always test it. If a cook likes it, the rest of them should like it," J.J. said.

J.J. was spending the day cooking 20 racks of ribs for the annual Edward J. Coleman-Bishop family and friends cookout, held the first Saturday in July.
When asked why they hold the event, J.J. simply answered, "Why not? It’s to get family and friends together."
And if ribs didn't tickle people's fancy, J.J. had a lot more food to offer.
"Coleslaw, we’ll have collard greens, mac and cheese, jerk chicken, fried chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs," listed J.J.
