Hopkinton Today: Friday, Oct. 21

by | Oct 21, 2022 | 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.

Tensions rose at Wednesday night’s Upper Charles Trail Committee meeting, as some residents asked that work on the current feasibility study for Segments 5 and 6 of the campus loop trail connector be stopped and the allocated funds be returned to the state.

At its meeting on Wednesday, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed proposed Community Preservation Committee (CPC) projects, ongoing business, external requests and winter programming.

Police and fire personnel from Hopkinton were among those honored recently by the Worcester District Attorney’s Office for saving the life of a missing man in July.

“Do you remember when?” was the main theme of the cordial — and tasty — Veterans Breakfast enjoyed by dozens of local veterans on Oct. 7 at the Hopkinton Senior Center. A solemn remembrance was offered for recently deceased veterans, as well as an acknowledgement of veterans currently on “sick call.”

Photo of the Day: With Halloween approaching, there are some creative displays around town, including this one on Valentine Road.
