Northborough – It's an Olympics year and Peaslee School is going for the gold.
The Olympics is the theme of this year's school fair, which will be held Saturday, March 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Peaslee School, 31 Maple St., Northborough.

Crafts, such as making Olympic torches and scratch art medals, will be featured, as well as other popular arts and crafts. Many games, such as a candy toss, relay, an inflatable obstacle course, basketball, speed pitch, archery and the famous cakewalk will be included in the day's events.
Food and tickets for raffle prizes will be sold, and a silent auction will also be held.
