by Jerry Spar | Mar 8, 2022 | 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.

The latest edition of Tales from a Townie focuses on a chimney in town that — much to the author’s delight — continues to serve as a keeper of historic information.

The owners of 47 East Main Street, which includes a historic stone home and 2,000-square-foot barn, are seeking a variance from the Board of Appeals to rent out the property for private events — such as weddings — after being issued a cease and desist order from the town’s zoning enforcement officer.

This week’s Senior Snippets includes information about an art appreciation presentation, a cultural conversation, a musical baseball show and a St. Patrick’s Day party.

The local Knights of Columbus annual Food for Families Food Drive will be held virtually from March 17-April 3. The event supports the Hopkinton Food Pantry at Project Just Because.

Town meetings tonight include the Parks & Recreation Commission (5:30).

Photo of the Day: Footprints make their way through snow — much of which was washed away by Monday night’s heavy rains.
