A large crowd turned out Saturday night in the cold and the winter to attend the Attleboro Winter Festival.
While the gusty winds limited some of the activites, a large crowd turned out to celebrate Attleboro Winter Festival, enjoying music, dancing, learning about the Civil War, getting a chance to meet Mrs. Lincoln, enjoying food from the city's various restaurants, taking spins on a giant tobaggon, when the win allowed, and going on hayrides through the city's streets.

Councilor Sara-Lynn Reynolds will head the project.
City residents serving overseas may soon get their names listed on a plaque, which may be displayed at City Hall. But the plan is going to take some work because it involves locating the honorees and getting permission to list their names. The idea sprung from Councilor Richard Conti, who discussed the proposal at a Municipal Council meeting Tuesday night. He said he has already talked to a person who wants to donate a plaque for that purpose.

I’m just asking to allow the process to evolve,” he said. But the implementation may not be as easy as it …

I was always under the impression that no one could hold more than one position that offers compensation from a municipality. Whether the stipend is forfeited or not, it's a compensation position, not a volunteer slot. That's why no one on the police, fire or other municipal department can serve on the Council.
