Municipal Lot / Fire Station<br />
and Historical Society. At Blair<br />
Square, the main flower beds,<br />
gazebo, trees, and fountain area<br />
were also mulched after they were<br />
weeded. It was noted last year<br />
that the railing at the Fire Station<br />
was in need of repair. Volunteers<br />
replaced the damaged<br />
piece of railing on the curved<br />
retaining wall, then sanded and<br />
re-painted railings on both sides<br />
of the driveway at no cost to the<br />
town. The Historical Society had<br />
numerous society members work<br />
on its extensive property to weed,<br />
plant annuals, and spread mulch.<br />
Town Hall’s walkways, patio<br />
bricks, flower beds and memorial<br />
areas all received meticulous<br />
weeding. The Senior Center had<br />
extensive planting and mulching<br />
done in June, but weeds always<br />
make an unwelcome<br />
appearance with in<br />
summer months.<br />
On Sunday, more<br />
volunteers went<br />
to back to work at<br />
Blair Square, the<br />
Police Station, along<br />
Hollis Street up to<br />
the house that had<br />
the first telephone,<br />
Memorial Square<br />
and on Washington<br />
Street along the<br />
