Saturday night, July 14, the sky above Mason Field was lit with a bodacious display of fireworks. After the 18-minute, $25,000, beautifully orchestrated pyrotechnic spectacle, you would expect the word on the street to be a positive exchange of enjoyed experiences. Instead, the usual influx of local appreciation was marred by one critical question: Why was there only one fireworks display this year?
On July 3 the North Attleborough Fire Department honored North Attleborough officers, paramedics and firefighters. Chief Peter Lamb, Fire Commissioners Deanna McHoul-Welter, Valerie Hickey and Chairman Michael Coyle commended the men for their service, accomplishments, and dedicated time to one of Massachusetts' most reputable fire departments.
In just two weeks from now, Mason Field will take on a familiar look as the North Attleborough Firefighters Association Kids Day makes its splash for the 27th year.
For four days, from July 12 to 15, the smell of food, screams from thrill-ride enthusiasts and the sounds of live music will take over that part of town.
