Redevelopment Authority
December, 1996
The Redevelopment Authority spends approximately seven months each year planning and organizing the annual Applefest celebration which is held the third week-end of September. This is an event which focuses on the downtown of Northborough, with many of the activities occurring directly in the downtown area. The funding for Applefest is raised entirely through donations, including many generous contributions from local businesses and individuals. The 1996 Applefest festivities were a huge success this year. Activities throughout the week-end included a puppet show, the annual 5k road race, the streetfair, the parade, a spaghetti supper, the Northborough Art Guild's annual arts and craft sale, the open house at the Historical Society, the Junior Woman's Club apple pie cafe and apple recipe contest, the Boy Scout Troop I pancake breakfast, the family concert held at the Trinity Church, the sports fest & tournament held at InSports, and the very popular "A Taste of Northborough".
Many thanks to the Redevelopment Authority/Applefest Committee members including: Nancy Cavanaugh, Pam Bleakney, Chris Kowal, Tom Lowe, Diane Reynolds and our parade coordinator Dick Perron all of whom spent countless hours planning this event and then praying for sunshine, as most of the activities are held outside. Thanks also to all of the numerous volunteers who make this week-end a very special event for the residents of Northborough and for all of our visitors from surrounding communities.
I would like to thank all of the board members with whom I have the pleasure of working. Thank you to the Planning Board, the Redevelopment Authority and the Housing Partnership. I appreciate your dedication and your assistance in helping to make my job easier and more enjoyable. I would also like to thank Debbie Grampietro, department secretary and planning board secretary, for her dedication and support.
Respectfully sumitted Tom Lowe, Chairman;
Nancy Cavanaugh, Pam Bleakney, Chris Kowal
