WESTBOROUGH – During the second Dinner at the Market on Thursday, Aug. 10, the Westborough Farmers Market received something special: a pair of citations from the state House of Representatives and state Senate to celebrate National Farmers Market Week.
According to Doreen Goodrich from state Sen. Michael Moore’s (D-Millbury) office, local legislators have been traveling around the district to honor local farmers markets.
“These markets are so important to our community,” said Goodrich.
In addition to Goodrich, Michael Mishley from the office of state Rep. Kate Donaghue (D-Westborough), and Kerry Shea from state Rep. Hannah Kane’s (R-Shrewsbury) office, were on hand to present the citations.
