Music, community, and gratitude—the perfect end to a monumental weekend. 🇺🇸

Before the final notes rang out, Parks and Rec Chair Celeste Langlois and BOS Chair Dan Keefe stepped up to share deep appreciation for every volunteer, group, and participant who poured their heart into making our town’s America’s 250th celebrations such a success.

Following the speeches, the Blackstone Valley Community Concert Band treated us all to a stirring rendition of Stars and Stripes Forever. It was a patriotic finale we won't soon forget! 🎼
