I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone that participated in Celebrate Sterling 2025 on Saturday. As always, our community was strong, supportive, and came out in droves. Our sponsors, businesses, organizations, and vendors were generous and amazing. Our musicians were more than awesome. Our town resources, including Sterling Police Department, Sterling Fire Department, Sterling Municipal Light Department, Sterling Department of Public Works, Conant Public Library, Sterling, Massachusetts Historical Society, George P. Gibbs Little League, Sterling Arts Collaborative, Sterling Cultural Council, CASA Project Worcester County and so many others made hearts sing. And very personal thanks to my partners in crime, Maureen Cranson and Nancy Castagna, and my beloved family. Without you, I’d have been curled up in a corner babbling in tongues.
I know that we weren’t able to reach and include all our businesses, but we’re already planning Celebrate Sterling 2026, and with more than a month to plan, we’ll do better! Please feel free to share any feedback you might have to help our future planning.
