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.

This week’s Independent Thoughts features a look at the upcoming Hopkinton Family Day on Sept. 14, along with other community happenings.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is Bob, a “spirited” 5-month-old dog that is “the epitome of fun and enthusiasm, always eager for his next adventure.”

Our latest Business Profile highlights Hopkinton Vision Center, “a small local office with a big heart” that specializes in chronic dry eye conditions.

On Sept. 10, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts will open its “A Magic of Three” art exhibit, which features a survey of paintings and works on paper by Alexandra Rozenman, Pauline Lim and photographer Mari Saxon. The exhibit runs until Oct. 3.
