Lexington's 300th: An Early Look at the Events Lineup

It's not too early to mark your calendar with the events you want to attend during Lexington's nine-month celebration of the 300th anniversary of its incorporation as a town.

A variety of events are planned to appeal to all ages and tastes, according to Tanya Morrisett and Jessie Steigerwald, events co-chairs. Susan Rockwell chairs the 300th Committee.
