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.

Will Recupero is the latest in his soccer-crazed family to make a huge mark in the sport they all love. The 13-year-old Hopkinton resident recently earned a spot on the U15 national soccer team, and he will be heading to Portugal later this month for international competition.

The Trails Committee at its meeting Thursday night discussed the future goal of a trail at Legacy Farms South and ways to increase resident awareness about the town’s current trails through improved signage and accessibility.

The Hopkinton Historical Society will hold its annual Holiday Open House on Saturday, Dec. 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year’s event will feature an exhibit of paintings by local artists Nancy Bailey, Robert McGraw, Frank Toner, Davison Welch et al.
