    Winter Wonderland 1998
    South Common, Framingham, MA

    FRAMINGHAM, MA – Billed as a Winter Wonderland, many organizers and residents were afraid that warm weather would ruin everything for this mid-February Downtown Framingham special event.

    It’s not often that the people of Framingham wish it would be a bit colder in February, but many hoped for just that.

    Earlier in the week the Town constructed an ice-skating rink on South Common, but warm mid-week temperatures dashed the hopes of those who came with skates slung over their shoulders hoping to spend a few hours relaxing and skating in the middle of the usually hectic Downtown.

    Framingham Town Clerk, George King, tallies final vote counts

    FRAMINGHAM, MA – Today was a historic day for the town of Framingham Massachusetts as voters cast more than twice as many votes to turn back a proposed charter that would have transformed the largest town in the state into just another medium sized city.

    Announcing the election results in a press conference held in the Ablondi Room of the Memorial Building, Town Clerk George King declared the charter ballot question had lost by a 30 percent to 70 percent margin. At 9:15pm, with all votes in, King’s unverified tally showed that 11,892 had voted on the ballot question, and that only 3647 were YES votes, while 8245 voters sent a loud and clear NO!
