BRIDGEWATER – Who doesn’t love watching a fantas- tic parade of antique and clas- sic cars? Newfound residents are probably familiar with the infamous Antique and Classic Car Parade that makes its loop around Newfound Lake. This year, the parade sets off on Au- gust 5th, beginning in Bridge- water. Parade cars assemble by year at 305 Whittemore Point Rd North, Bridgewater.
Anne Bryan, the founder of the car parade, has been put- ting hard work into this event for quite a few years. “People really just love this event,” Bryan told me. “It’s a great at- mosphere, and it’s really fun for families. Pedestrians can just sit back and enjoy the parade, and car owners can show off their cars!” A couple of years ago, the parade totaled 98 cars, and over the years, they have seen anywhere between 80 and 100 vehicles for people’s viewing pleasure.
It’s at around 10 AM when
the car owners show up with their classic vehicles. The own- ers of these incredible cars can park, walk around, and mingle with other owners as they take in the sights all of those hot rods have to offer. Anne in-
formed me that she provides lunch to the car owners and that there’s water and chairs for them as well as some po- tential live entertainment this year! With approximately 80- 100 cars, the sights are prac-
tically limitless for these lucky car owners!
“I love this event because it adds to the fact that people don’t have to leave the lake for

By Donna rhoDes
PLYMOUTH – At the meeting of the Plymouth Select Board on July 10th, members were pleased to meet their old- est resident, Virginia Dearborn. Still, due to inclement weather that evening, they had to con- gratulate her through Zoom as they announced she was the sixth recipient of the town’s Boston Post Cane.
The tradition of awarding the cane began 114 years ago when the Boston Post newspaper’s pub- lisher Edwin Grozier had 700 ma- hogany canes with 14-carat gold knobs made. On Aug. 2, 1909, he then distributed them to 700 com- munities across New England as
