UPDATE: All Founders Day Field Activities Moved to Foxborough High School Parking Lot

UPDATE (June 8, 8:30 a.m.) -

Due to the overnight rain, the following changes have been made to Saturday's Founders Day schedule:

All field activities have been moved to Foxborough High School's parking lot.

"Because Booth Field is saturated and muddy from the rain, all Founders Day field activities have been moved to the Foxborough High School parking lot," the Founders Day Committee said via its website.

All activities are still expected to begin after the parade concludes. The parade and morning setup have been delayed one hour as a result of the weather.

The fireworks are still scheduled for 9 p.m. Saturday.

ORIGINAL STORY -

The local forecast for Saturday morning has forced the Foxborough Founders Day Planning Committee and several town officials to delay the start of all morning events by one hour.

This includes field setup, parade assembly and the start of the parade itself.

“It is our intent to provide additional time for the storm to pass and to allow for sufficient drying out of the Booth Field location prior to it being used for field activities,” Founders Day committee said via its website. “These delays only affect the events scheduled prior to noon on Saturday.”
