Hopkinton Today: Thursday, Jan. 5

by | Jan 5, 2023 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo and video of the day.

It turns out that the farm animal that had been wandering free on Ash Street and previously referred to as a bull and a steer actually is a heifer — a young female cow. We now know this because, after a few months of sauntering into residents’ backyards and living in the woods, the heifer has been corralled and is living on a small farm off Ash Street.

This week’s Police Log includes one arrest along with reports of a vehicle striking a deer, illegal dumping on Main Street and a hunter on private property without permission.

The next monthly Veterans Breakfast at the Hopkinton Senior Center is this Friday at 9 a.m. An anonymous donor will absorb the cost of the meal.

Town meetings tonight include the School Committee (7) and Open Space Preservation Commission (7).

Photo of the Day: The dining bubbles are back at Central Public House on Main Street.
