Board of Selectmen · Meeting of April 7, 2026
BLACKSTONE — Selectmen plan Blackstone's 350th anniversary event with $80,000 warrant consideration. At an April 7 workshop, Parks and Recreation Chairwoman Celeste Langlois presented details for the high school celebration, which drew roughly 37 food truck and 87 vendor applications; vendors will be housed indoors and food trucks accommodated at 14 to 16 locations pending a Fire Department site visit. Parks and Recreation Vice Chairman Bob Gilbert stressed that soccer fields will not be used for parking due to infrastructure concerns, and a motion to support the $80,000 warrant article was made, though the formal vote outcome is not recorded in the minutes.
