Senator Ed Markey, Mayor Visit BPA Booth at Newtonville Village Day

U.S. Senator Ed Markey and Mayor Setti Warren stopped by the BPA booth at Newtonville Village Day this afternoon. Mayor Warren kindly told Senator Markey that the Association had hosted "a terrific event" in the Bullough's Pond Fair earlier in the day.

The Senator asked BPA board members at the booth about the pond, and they were able to tell him about the upcoming need for dredging of the pond to protect it from build up of silt and pollutants, and to prevent downstream flooding in Newtonville.

Both the Fair in the morning and the BPA's participation in this afternoon's Village Day festivities were successful in terms of raising awareness and in fundraising through sales of BPA logo mugs and notecards.

Mayor Setti Warren welcomed a crowd of more than 200 people to the Bullough's Pond Fair this morning, and called out the countdown to the Fair's sponsored kayak race. After presenting the race cup to the winning kayak, the Mayor chatted with BPA board members and said he'd like to see the fair become an annual event. Parks & Recreation Commissioner Bob DeRubeis also visited many of the events at the fair. For a full account of all the fair's activities, click here: Bullough's Pond Fair

Newton Fire Department Lieutenant Mike Murphy asked the BPA how he could help us (that's just the kind of guy he is), and we said, "Can you help us get our banners put up high for the Bullough's Pond Fair?". Early this morning, Lt. Murphy and the firefighters of Ladder 3 came to Bullough's Pond just after their shift ended, on their own time, raised ladders and climbed high into the trees to hang BPA banners around the pond and over Dexter Road. We were also delighted to learn that Lt. Kevin Mancini and his crew will be bringing a fire truck to the Fair for kids to visit.
