Five Things You Need to Know Today: June 16
James Massone visits Newton, the PMC Kids Ride and a chance to get some free ice cream.
A neighborhood walk of the future Upper Falls Greenway trail was organized for Saturday morning, June 2. At each end of the trail, walkers would receive a token. The pair of tokens could then be traded in for an ice cream at the Upper Falls Variety. Pictured here is Logan Flannery, Jayla Reilly, and Saylor Flannery enjoying their ice cream on the trail.
Despite the monsoon like weather, a few intrepid hikers wouldn't let a little rain come between them and their ice cream.
