Thanksgiving #1 Day for Fires in Massachusetts
In each of the past five years, Thanksgiving has been the single day with the most fires. “Thanksgiving is a wonderful family holiday, but the day can be ruined with a cooking or candle fire, a burn injury or a carbon monoxide incident from long-term use of the oven,” said State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan. “Every home should have working smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms,” said State Fire Marshal Coan.
The Woodville Trailbusters 4H Horse Club and Woodville 4H Crafty Cats would like to thank all who helped to make our 7th annual Haunted Trail Walk successful.
Our clubs are now working on holiday crafts to sell at Hopkinton's Holiday Stroll on Saturday, December 6. We will have a booth with homemade ornaments at Colella's Supermarket and Vinny's N.Y. Pizza. Come celebrate the start of the holidays!

Representative Carolyn Dykema announces the passage of a formal resolution in the House of Representatives designating November 28th and 29th, the weekend after Thanksgiving, as “Small Business Weekend,” recognizing the contribution of small businesses to our local economies, and encouraging residents to look close to home for gifts this holiday season. The formal resolution is in “Recognition of Small Businesses as the Cornerstone of Our Communities and the Massachusetts Economy.”
