    Northborough – On May 26, the Memorial Day parade made stops for ceremonies at four monuments in downtown Northborough. Participants included many members of the American Legion Vincent F. Picard Post 234 and guest veterans, town and state officials, and Scout troops. Music was provided by the Algonquin Regional High School Marching Band and Chamber Choir.

    At the Veterans Memorial in the Howard Street Cemetery, the speakers included state Sen. Harriette Chandler, D-Worcester; state Rep. Danielle Gregoire, D-Marlborough; state Rep. Harold Naughton Jr., D-Clinton; and Selectman Jeff Amberson.
