Heritage Day is fast approaching, and the excitement is building. All your favorites from last year will make a return this year, including the scarecrow contest, road race, pumpkin lighting, parade, and pie-eating contest.
Leading the parade this year will be the Championship Southborough Little League team. Cruising not far behind will be Southborough’s brand new ladder truck making its debut. Also making a debut in the parade will be the Trottier Middle School Marching Band. Quite the line-up!
If you or your group wishes to participate in the parade, or if you have questions about Heritage Day, contact the Recreation Office at 508-229-4452.
