Boxborough Public Celebrations committee called Fifer's Day a success despite light parade attendance. Chair Jennette Kollmann's four-member panel voted unanimously to approve minutes from June and began initial Veterans Day planning, assigning member Becky Neville to order wreaths and create promotional materials.

The panel meets next on September 15.
