HIB CLEANUP<br />

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 />
