Hopkinton Today: Friday, Aug. 9

by | Aug 9, 2024 | 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.

The newest edition of Tales from a Townie recaps the inaugural season of Little League Baseball in Hopkinton in 1954.

Football is a fall sport, but Cam Kenney has spent the summer in pads competing at the highest level.

This latest Independent Thoughts leads off with residents rescuing injured owls and includes an update on the Main Street Corridor Project.

Crews put out a minor fire at the E.L. Harvey recycling center on Wood Street just before 10 a.m. on Thursday.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is Zeus, a 1-year-old who “loves playing with toys and snuggling in your lap.”

Photo of the Day: A worker takes a chainsaw to a felled tree at Winter Street on Thursday, part of a Department of Public Works project to remove hazardous trees along the road.
