Good Morning, Burlington!

Burlington Buzz spends a lot of time working on finding new ways to connect Burlington residents with the information, activities, and support they need in town. As a next step in that work, we will be creating seasonal guides to town. The goal is to highlight businesses, non-profits, activities, and municipal information & events (When is Christmas tree pickup? When does the overnight parking ban begin and end? Where can I get winter coats for myself and my children?) that will be useful to residents in the winter.

You can expect this guide to land in your inbox in mid-November, and between now and then, we’d love to hear what stories you’d like to share. What are your favorite winter-related activities, stories, or hidden gems around Burlington? Share yours by responding to this email or clicking the button below, and help make the first Buzz Guide to Winter something truly useful that will live up to the Buzz’s mission of community connection!

Our football team fell to Stoneham this Friday by a score of 41-32, bringing their record to 4-3. In soccer, the boys’ and girls’ varsity teams both fell to their respective Melrose opponents 0-2. JV girls tied it up at 3.

In this last full week in the regular season, you can expect a full complement of games from soccer to field hockey. Be sure to keep an eye on the Daily Buzz to see who is playing each day. Good luck Red Devils!

That’s all I’ve got for you today. See you tomorrow, neighbors!
