OCTOBER 20 To the Tri-County Community, As the leaves change color, our focus at TC turns to recruitment of next year's freshmen class. Our Admissions Team visited Franklin middle schools this week, and we are preparing for visits from local eighth grade students over the next few weeks. It is a great time for our student ambassadors to reflect and share their experiences here at TC. You can see the wheels turning in their head as they reflect and speak to students sitting in the same chairs that they sat in only a year or two ago. Our second annual Showcase Spectacular was a great success. Over 300 visitors walked through our programs and joined us for lunch. Many participated in games and contests in the shops. Thank you to all that attended or took part in it. As the fall comes to an end, the sports playoff picture is really shaping up with our Golf and Girls' Volleyball teams already qualified for the playoffs. Our cheerleaders won one competition already and have their sights set on a couple more over the next few weeks. Special thanks need to go out to our Sports Boosters that sponsored the Homecoming Dance last weekend. Almost 400 students attended the dance. Thank you for your continued support, Mr. Procaccini    Career Days: There will be no school on Thursday, October 27, and Friday, October 28, due to our annual Career Days. Students volunteering in their shops as part of the Career Day events will need to supply their own transportation.

In the News: drought continues, craft brewing in Hopkinton

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"Occasional showers with above normal temperatures in the past week did not help drought conditions in Massachusetts, according to the weekly report by the U.S. Drought Monitor released Thursday. 

The report shows 37.83 percent of the state is still in extreme drought, the second highest category of drought. That figure is unchanged from last week. More than 87 percent of the state is in at least severe drought, a slight rise from last week's figure of 83.7 percent. 

There may be some relief in the next several days. Rain is forecast Thursday night through Saturday morning. More than two inches of rain could fall in some areas, especially with the risk of thunderstorms Friday night."

A small craft brewery, hoping to open at Water Fresh Farm, is seeking permission to serve its products to customers on the premises. 

Start Line Brewery is set to open mid-November, said Edwin Twinney, owner and operating manager. 

"We are just doing final testing and hope to be brewing soon," he said. 

In the meantime, the company, CraftLife Brewing Co., will go before selectmen Tuesday night to seek the farmer-brewing pouring permit. Twinney said he already has a license to sell products for off-premise consumption.
