In addition, the North Attleboro branch will also have a balloon artist on-hand and the Franklin and Foxborough locations will offer face painting. In addition, each branch will offer a grilled cheese and tomato soup family dinner option for $3 per member and $5 per non-member. Dinner starting times vary by branch.
