MARLBOROUGH – Spooky season is arriving early in Marlborough this year as the Marlborough Economic Development Corporation will be hosting 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 on Saturday, Aug. 17. Pumpkins and skeletons will be taking over the Marlborough Farmers Market and the Downtown Pop-Up Shops and you won’t want to miss out on the spine-tingling fun. Attendees will get to enjoy family activities including trick-or-treat bag decorating and face painting as well as pay a visit to JR’s Spooky Shack and his famous hearse…if you dare. The 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 fun will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 13 Weed St. and we’re DYING to see you there.
THE VIN BIN will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a Grand Tasting Saturday, Sept. 14, from 1 to 4 p.m., in the 91 Main St, Marlborough location. Guests will dine on cheese, charcuterie and small bites from the Café and Donut Stand, while sampling dozens of hand selected wines. In addition to a 20 percent off wine sale, guests can purchase Riedel stemware, with proceeds benefiting the Marlborough Public Library Foundation.

THE MARLBOROUGH POLICE YOUTH ACADEMY – July Class 2024 recently held Graduation Day. After a week of testing the recruit’s merit and resilience, each cadet passed the Marlborough Youth Academy with flying colors. They acquired a wide variety of training and hopefully left the academy a little more confident in themselves from when they started.
