The Quaboag 350th Grand Ball Committee will hold an open house at West Brookfield town hall on Sunday, January 3, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m, in order for the public to see the beautiful and historic decorations before they're removed on Monday.

The public is invited, suggested donation a can of food for the food pantry; that's just a suggestion, not a requirement. "This is a once in a lifetime occurrence, and the culmination of two years' work on the part of the committee. Not everyone could attend the ball, so we thought we'd offer this opportunity on Sunday," said co-chair Bev Kenniston. Contact: Ruth Lyon 508-867-7316
