Community Invited to Watch Live on Town Common
WRENTHAM — Town Administrator Kevin Sweet is pleased to announce that the Town of Wrentham will be featured on Boston 25 Morning News’ “Zip Trips” this July.
On the morning of July 28, Boston 25 will be broadcasting live from the Wrentham Town Common, 1 Franklin St., from 6-10 a.m. as part of its 20th season of “Zip Trips.” During the broadcast, Boston 25 will highlight the unique aspects of the community that makes Wrentham, Wrentham.

During the event, “Wrentham, Oh Wrentham” will be performed by the Wrentham Elementary School Chorus led by music teacher Melanie Mariotti. The song’s music was written by Mike McGuire with lyrics by Grey Almeida, Julia Haney and Mike McGuire. The chorus most recently performed this piece at Town Meeting on June 5.
There also will be several sponsor pop-up tents for attendees to browse and enjoy.
