MIDDLEBORO — Middleboro on the Move (MOM), the non-profit economic development group, plans to revive an old tradition next summer, former selectman Wayne Perkins told the selectmen Monday night. He said the group is planning to bring back Krazy Days, the sidewalk sales and entertainment event that once took over the Four Corners for two days every summer.
Mr. Perkins said plans call for a two-day event that will be confined to local businesses — the demise of Krazy Days was in part the result of t-shirt vendors and others dominating the offerings in the sale’s final years — but will be opened up to businesses outside the downtown area since the number of commercial establishments around the Four Corners is not what it used to be.
Mr. Perkins said local organizations like the Middleboro Lions and Rotary clubs that were involved in the past will be asked to participate in the revival.
“We feel this will be a community spirit-building thing,” Mr. Perkins said.
The selectmen offered their support for the project.
Mr. Perkins said MOM also has some of its pewter Christmas tree ornaments available from previous years, and this year’s ornament, featuring Sacred Heart Church in honor of its 125th anniversary, is also available. Call Mr. Perkins at 508-947-9391 to order them, or drop a note in MOM’s mailbox in the town clerk’s office.
