5 Days to Go!
We celebrate our friends at WCVB Channel 5 — reporter Brianna Borghi and photojournalist Andrew Croteau — who rolled into Lexington at 4:30 AM to go live on the EyeOpener at 5:00 AM, changing the countdown from 6 to 5 in real time at the #CountdownCalendar!
Brianna was also with us to mark 250 Days to Go, and we’re thrilled she returned to help usher in the final stretch. Vice Chair Mona Roy joined the broadcast early this morning — the lone early riser today, but not for long. In just a few days, hundreds — if not more — will be rising before dawn to witness the Reenactment of the Battle of Lexington at first light on April 19.
We’re so grateful to WCVB for shining a light on the people and passion behind Lexington’s 250th — and for helping share our story with early risers across the Commonwealth.
Because the heart behind this once-in-a-generation celebration is our Lexington community — with 365 unique local groups stepping up to turn the calendar and get our town ready to welcome the world.
Thank you, WCVB, for being part of it!
