Hopkinton Today: Tuesday, Dec. 12

by | Dec 12, 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 of the day.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Hopkinton’s Barrett Hanlon was looking for something to do to keep up with his competitive nature. “I just kind of started getting into the sport [of boxing] and started competing,” he said. “I just fell in love with the sport.” He went on to compete in the New England Golden Gloves this year, losing in the All-New England final.

Coming off an appearance in the state tournament and a second-place finish in the Tri-Valley League Large School Division, the Hopkinton High School boys basketball team has an experienced and scrappy group ready to make another run at the postseason.

This week’s Senior Snippets includes information on mental healthy literacy, a Winter Wonderland party, Our Time Memory Cafe and more.

This latest Professional Insights from real estate agent Kim Foemmel discusses the pros and cons of assumable mortgages for homes.

Town meetings tonight include the Parks & Recreation Commission (5), Tax Relief Committee (6:30) and Hopkinton Youth Commission (7).

Photo of the Day: Work continues on the solar canopies being installed in the side parking lot at Hopkinton Middle School.
