New local history page is up
I am absolutely horrified by the lack of a clean, comprehensive list of all of the resources available on the web pertaining to Walpole history.  As someone who enjoys conducting local historical research, I know there is a need for such a list, and therefore I have posted one right here on SamObar.com.  It will be updated regularly, and I welcome input from the community.  Thanks!

Longest Baseball Game is June 6-7
I wanted to let all SamObar.com visitors know that from June 6-7, the Longest Baseball Game will be held in Wrentham, MA, as hundreds of youth baseball players attempt to break a world record for the longest baseball game ever played.  The game is a charitable event, as well as a momentous event, and I hope everyone goes.  I certainly plan to be there.  Go to http://www.longestbaseballgame.org for more information.

Memorial Day 2009

This Memorial Day, remember our local Civil War vets
On this Memorial Day 2009, I am asking that Walpole highly consider changing the name of our mascot to reflect the sacrifices that our own local Civil War veterans made during the US Civil War.  Our Civil War vets fought against the Rebels, who sought to divide the Union and maintain slavery.  It is simply ridiculous that Walpole would call our sports teams the Rebels.  See other Rebel-related information here.
