By all accounts, the Southborough Fire Ball was a huge success. Organizer Rebecca Waterfall tells me the event on Saturday night was attended by 290 people and brought in $95K. Not all of that will go toward the ladder truck since a portion will go toward the event itself, but still, an impressive number.
At the ball, Board of Selectmen Chairman Bill Boland made a surprise announcement that St. Mark’s School planned to donate an additional sum to the ladder truck fund. No word yet on the amount.
You can view a collection of photos from the Fire Ball on the Southborough Fire Department website. Also check out this report by NECN on the Fire Ball.
