If you are an EV or Hybrid owner, we hope you will join us to “Lift your hood and let interested neighbors see what you’ve got!” The idea of the event is neighbor to neighbor learning. We will not have commercial sellers, just you and your cars. You don’t have to be an EV or hybrid guru, just be willing to share your experience as the owner of an electrically powered vehicle.
An Announcement from Your Publishers
Five years ago, after retiring from our respective careers, we chose Holliston as our new home to be close to our daughter’s family (meaning grandchildren). Our retirement dreams included leisure time and travel to explore new places. Although not a thought when formulating our retirement dreams, The Holliston Reporter became our obsession, and we have gladly given this particular retirement project our all. Our work on the Holliston Reporter has been a pleasure: we have immersed ourselves in the community, learning about and enjoying its history, people and events.
