A pair of black frames sparks the first surprise—smart glasses that can move a cursor with your hand—before we steer straight into the meat of what keeps our town running. We celebrate a freshly finished field that looks as good as promised, then confront the recurring headache of sideline wear with plans for turf and tarps, especially with rain on the way. From there, we walk through a year-long journey to award our rental property, laying out the winning applicant, backups, credit checks, and the goal of getting the home productive by November 1.

Our calendar comes alive with the programs that anchor families. The before-and-after school care program passed a state review after a location mix-up, and we’re measuring space to expand access. Trunk or Treat returns with a nostalgic twist as Dairymaid Jr. rolls up with a reduced menu, and we tailor the event to pre-K through second grade while welcoming older siblings. We also share a lineup of after-school enrichment—drama, Minecraft, Lego engineering, and Mad Science—that mixes play with hands-on learning.

Gratitude runs through the episode. We tip our hats to youth soccer’s opening day and the 30-plus coaches who make it run, celebrate the packed paddock as it nears its season finale, and thank the Eagle Scouts for a gazebo makeover with new benches set in concrete. When vandalism hits the donated ball wall, neighbors step in with paint and time to set it right. Meanwhile, new lights and a scoreboard on Field Three raise the game-night experience, and we draw a firm line on parking near the Babe Ruth field to protect the grounds and set the right example.

Looking ahead, we brainstorm how to refresh the Christmas tree lake event to avoid conflicts with town Santa drives and lighting nights—balancing early winter darkness with family schedules. We also have community ticket blocks for the Celtics and Bruins, including the night Zdeno Chára’s number goes to the rafters. Even our check on the forest trails gets a plan: light cleanup now, state crews in spring. It’s a snapshot of small-town momentum—steady fixes, clear standards, and a calendar full of reasons to show up.

If this kind of practical progress and community care matters to you, follow the show, share it with a neighbor, and leave a quick review. Your feedback helps us keep the lights on—literally and figuratively.
