5 Things: Democratic Party Office, Flag Football

1. Flag Football: Today from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. the Hopkinton Youth Commission will be hosting their second Hot Summer Nights activity; Flag Football. Last week they had.

2. 4^th of July: Posts are going to be a little less newsy this week and a little more topical. We’re trying to ramp up the user interaction on the site to find where Hopkinton and Holliston residents are at after the merger. During the week we’ll be asking for BBQ tips, favorite vacations and party pictures.

3. Social Media: While the two sites are merged on Patch, Hopkinton and Holliston still remain separate on Facebook and Twitter. Like Hopkinton Patch and Holliston Patch on Facebook, follow @HollistonPatch and @HopkintonPatch on Twitter.

4. Democratic Part Field Office: New to 781 Washington St., the Massachusetts Democratic Party has opened a new local office. Stop in to get campaign information and learn about the candidates and their issues. You can also find out how to support the cause.

5. Vacation: As mentioned earlier, the posts will be a little more topical. Editor Sean O’Donnell is on vacation for the week. If you have any breaking news don’t worry Associate Regional Editor Danielle Horn (Danielle.horn@patch.com) will be covering the site. Danielle used to run Milford Patch so you are in capable hands.
