This started in May, then happened again in June, and recently July's first Friday was celebrated. I have yet to be present in town on any of these past first Fridays, but come heck or high water, I will be there for August!
The cool things they do on "First Fridays" are Art Attacks. Random acts of art. Seriously. It is great entertainment for all the folks in town, dining on the restaurant patios, or strolling to a show at the Bradley Theater, or at the Black Box Theater at the Complex Performing Arts Centre, or shopping, or just out walking...You never know what is going to happen.
Most of us are fans of the flash mobs that are always being featured on morning TV "news" shows, youtube videos, and that we all share on Facebook. I love that stuff! Well, right in Putnam, you have the chance of seeing some sort of live "art" on the first Friday of each month.
Here is a glimpse of what has happened in the first 3 "First Friday" Art Attacks:
May: Watch as a van full of dancers close off Main Street and perform
June: Artists paint beautiful scenes in town
July: See pictures of graffiti artists doing their work on one of the last buildings in town that will be rehabbed soon by the owners
August: Come meet me and we can check out the Art Attack of the month!

I am a Putnamaniac because we have an Art Attack every month!
