NORTHBOROUGH – Northborough children welcomed the first day of summer vacation with Be Well Northborough’s Summer Kick Off Event on June 22.
Held at Ellsworth McAfee Park, the event included booths featuring town departments including the schools, police and the Northborough Free Library along with local organizations.
“It’s kind of cool because it’s all town-related. There aren’t any outside vendors,” said Recreation Director Allie Lane. “This is everybody coming together and learning about what the town has to offer.”
Plus, there were activities for kids, including bounce houses and an obstacle course.
According to Lane, the event was organized by the Be Well committee. Be Well is a health and wellness initiative to help residents recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to its website.
Last year was the first year that the committee had the event.
“It was very successful,” said Lane.
