Dear Resident,
The Weekend Update is a little early this week so we can highlight some of our upcoming events. Watch ELF! Under the stars this Thursday. Family Fun Night and National Night Out are coming soon.
The weather has been a challenge this summer and we sometimes have to make the difficult decision to postpone or cancel events. We are pleased to announce that concert and fireworks is rescheduled to August 13 and will be held in conjunction with our car show.

We remind you that the Marlboro Farmers Market is open this Sunday and every Sunday from 9am to 1pm. The market is rain or shine, however, the market may close in case of severe weather. Follow us on social media @MarlboroFarmersMarket for updates.
