Many Hopkinton residents enjoyed an afternoon at the Kimball Cabins on Saturday, October 24, 2009. The Hopkinton recreational department sponsored its annual Fall Festival, and to the amazement of some, was not postpone due to weather conditions.
Some of the activities that occurred were; musical chairs with Miley Cyrus, story telling, eating doughnuts off of a string and many other activities. The Women’s Club was also there to keep everybody warm and toasty with their special hot apple cider and amazing hot coco along with other goodies to keep the children happy. Robby Keilig also had a fundraiser food stand to help pay off the expenses of the renovation of the Kimball Cabins.
It rained pretty hard and yet, “I had no free time for the first hour cooking burgers and dogs,” said Adam Coen, who helped Robby with his fundraiser. “There were a ton of people there,” Adam continued. Robby’s mom also had something to say with the amount of people there. She said, “I thought we were going to run out of food during the first hour, but luckily we didn’t.” The rain did lighten up a little every once-in-a-while, but mostly throughout the time of the festival the rain came done pretty hard.
Justin Lavigne, the Park and Recreational director who set up the entire festival, would like to thank all of those who helped out to make the Festival the best ever, also for the people who braved the weather to participate in the event.
