This past Saturday featured a fun filled day of activities in Hopkinton. To start off the day, the 44th Annual Polyarts Festival took place at the Hopkinton Town Common as well as the official closing of Center School.
In the video below, former students of Center School had one last look before the official closing and I caught up with some vendors at the 44th Annual Polyarts Festival.
This week, Beth Watson introduces us to 2 lovable cats named Stanley & Preacher available for adoption at the Baypath Humane Society.
"Preacher: - 2 year 1 month old male domestic shorthair / mix
Preacher is a fun loving sweet guy. He lives for attention. He enjoys a good head scratch and to be petted. Preacher loves to play as well but can get a little frisky and mouthy at times. He would do well in home with other cats and older children. He has a real chill type of personality."
On Tuesday Night, in-front of a packed house at the HCAM studios, the Board of Selectmen unanimously agreed to recommend to the Town Clerk that a new license not be issued to Greyhound Friends. Selectmen heard from both sides during a scheduled public hearing that took nearly two and a half hours.

On Tuesday September 11th, the Board of Selectmen will host a public hearing to discuss if they should allow Greyhound Friends to reopen. Greyhound Friends was shutdown in January 2017 by state authorities. In the below video, former Director of Greyhound Friends, Louise Coleman spoke in favor of Greyhound Friends reopening. Hopkinton resident, Beth Mallloy who is involved with the website TruthAboutGreyhoundFriends.com spoke heavily against the business reopening.
A business called the "Education Station" has opened on the 2nd floor at 77 Main St. in Hopkinton. The business provides a number of services which helps council and coach students. Some of the services include early reading and mathematics skills, A.P. boot-camps and ACT/SAT test preparations. The business celebrated their opening by offering free ice cream on a beautiful summer day. You can view more at their website www.EducationStationHopkinton.com and in the video below.

Hello,

Bryan and members of his office will come around and collect these items and if you choose, will shoot a very quick social media to give you and your business the recognition you deserve. Anything you can do would be a huge help to better a child’s life! They will be collecting supplies until Friday September 7th.
