The Weekly Packet - September 5, 2024

In this issue

The Blue Hill Fair had rides, food, entertainment and more—and we've got wall-to-wall coverage of the area's biggest annual event. Among those, our reporters cover the automotive gladiators who did battle at the demolition derby, as well as the Gen Z experience at the fair. Meanwhile, some new faces join The Bay School, and the town's tree warden counts the rings on Blue Hill's oldest elm.
