No Fireworks in Marlborough, But Plenty to Go Around

Here at Marlborough Patch, we take social media pretty seriously.

The platform is one way we look to interact with you, answer your questions and get to see what's on your mind. Social Media Saturday is a weekly feature where we highlight your questions and thoughts you've shared on Facebook, Twitter and other media throughout the past week.

We'll also point you to some new and interesting pages you may not have known about before.

Highlights of the Week:

Currently, we've got 352 fans liking us on Facebook, which is a great thing. We've also got 372 followers on Twitter, with numbers growing every day. Here are some highlights of what took place this week:

• One of our Facebook friends asked if there is going to be a fireworks display in Marlborough this year. We had the sad task of informing them that there will not be. But there will a bunch of shows all around us. 
  
  
  
• In our "Old News" column on June 28, we featured an (reportedly) awesome cure-all advertisement. This received an interested response from several of our Facebook followers. 
  
   
• Earlier this week Memorial Beach on Hosmer Rd. closed due to elevated E. Coli bacteria levels in the water. Marlborough Patch on this situation (thanks to a heads-up from one of our Twitter followers), and now the situation has now been resolved. The beach is fully open in time for the holiday weekend.
