Foxborough Founders Day 2012 to Take Place June 9

The Foxborough Founders Day Committee recently announced the 2012 theme - "Foxborough Schools Past and Present."

Founders Day in Foxborough is a wonderful celebration of civic pride and a chance for the entire community to come together for a day of fun, food and service.

Foxborough-based organizations and businesses are encouraged to build upon this year's theme when preparing their entries for the parade.

Helping to make Founders Day a success is a true community effort. Each year, local businesses and individuals contribute cash donations to cover the various celebration costs, including fireworks.

Local organizations can participate in the field festivities and raise funds for their organization through food sales, games, raffles and more.

Mark your calenders early - Founders Day will take place on June 9, 2012.

Planning and discussion meetings are typically the first Tuesday of each month except for the March meeting which is scheduled for the 13th. Meetings are open to all who are interested. Meetings are at 7:00pm in Memorial Hall, corner of Rt. 140 and South Street.

The Founder's Day committee will be hosting a "Kid's" Wagon & Doll Carriage Parade. They invite all children & grandchildren ages 3 - 9 years of Foxborough families to join this fun event showing off their decorated wagons and carriages! Prize ribbons will be awarded for originality, outstanding beauty and recognition of entries done entirely by the children without adult help. Any questions can be forwarded to Barbara Kurth t.kurth@comcast.net.

Also, this year there will be participation by "Miss Foxborough" of the Miss Foxborough Scholarship Pageant.
