Quick context to catch up fast.
The July 4 parade still needs $27,000 to cover this year’s costs, including a $109,000 public safety detail. The committee discussed using part of the $75,000 allocated for 250th-related events, but the Visitor Services Board controls that funding; a $13,000 request for additional fireworks will be brought to the board.

Plans are advancing for the June 27 Town Square event, which will include historical readings, speeches, music, and a flag-raising. The committee will seek guidance from the Herring Pond Womponoag Tribe on how to provide context for a passage in the Declaration of Independence that describes Native Americans negatively. A brochure and QR-linked map covering 30 Revolutionary history sites are also being developed, but the brochure price is not yet set.
