We Cut the Ribbon to Welcome New Member
Goldfish Swim School
|
|
Last week, we facilitated a ribbon cutting welcoming new member Goldfish Swim School, a state-of-the-art facility at 1360 South Washington Street, North Attleboro.
The owner and staff at Goldfish Swim School understand the importance of learning life skills and boosting cognitive development at an early age. That is why their swim school has created the Golden Experience where your child can learn in a fun, safe, play-based environment.
The Golden Experience sets Goldfish Swim School apart from other swim schools. You feel it the moment you walk in. Vibrant colors have been chosen to inspire kids. Their curriculum is crafted to not only teach kids to swim, but also to build their characters through guided play. Their shiver-free pool is heated to 90 degrees.
Thank you to Senator Paul Feeney, North Attleboro Town Manager Mike Borg, and delegates from State Representative Adam Scanlon's office for attending the ribbon cutting.

Jack Lank Interviewed Mim Fawcett on Double ACS
Last week, Jack Lank interviewed Mim Fawcett, executive director and chief curator of the Attleboro Arts Museum. They talked about the museum's member show and their classes as well as the art at Cuddy Court and the wrapped electrical boxes that can be seen in downtown Attleboro. And Mim reminded us about the museum's gift shop where you'll find unique gifts -- which is oh so important during the holiday season.

Foxborough, Plainville, and Wrentham Team Up to Promote Joint Destination to Visitors
Foxborough, Plainville, and Wrentham are working collectively to promote the region to visitors from both near and far. They have launched a new destination brand and website to assist travelers planning trips to the area. Grants provided by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism have made this venture possible. In addition to the major destinations located within each Town - Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, Wrentham Village Premium Outlet Mall in Wrentham, and Patriot Place/Gillette Stadium in Foxboro; travelers to the region also find an abundance of outdoor activities, great dining, unique shops, and small town charms in each destination. With so much more than meets the eye, this new marketing campaign will showcase all that this area has to offer including the well-known and hidden gems in each community.
“We’re excited to share our brand with visitors, businesses and the communities,” said Chris Yarworth, Director of Planning and Development, Town of Plainville. The Tagline; “Stay a little longer, play a little more!” encompasses the key goals.
