Mayor Nicholson outlined upcoming community events and civic deadlines in Gardner’s monthly update.
Key events and dates: The Gardner Farmers Market will run from May through November and opens May 17 at 9:30 a.m. on the front lawn of the new Waterford Street Community Center. The Greater Gardner Health and Wellness Fair, produced by the Gardner Community Action Team, is scheduled for April 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Perry Auditorium. Light the Town Purple — a Relay for Life kickoff event — will be on April 22 at 6:30 p.m. on the front steps of Gardner City Hall.
Arts and library programming: The Theater at the Mount at Mount Wachusett Community College will present Into the Woods (performances March 1 at 7:30 p.m. and March 2 at 2 p.m.). The Gardner Public Library will host “The Softer Side of Celtic” with Jeff Snow on March 12 at 6:30 p.m. The Garden Museum reopens from winter break on March 5.
Civic deadlines: Dog licenses are due by March 31; residents age 70 and older do not pay the license fee under a city ordinance change the mayor said the council adopted. Motor vehicle excise bills were mailed Feb. 3 and are due March 5; residents who do not receive a bill should contact the treasurer-collector at (978) 630-4008 or visit City Hall.
Why this matters: The schedule compiles cultural, health and civic deadlines that affect resident participation and compliance.
Ending: The mayor thanked volunteers, Chamber of Commerce members and event organizers and encouraged residents to attend.
