Blow Horn

There's not a lot more I can say about "Occupy Blow Horn," the light-hearted, low-key, nostalgic horn-honking that took place the morning of Saturday, Oct. 15, to protest the removal (by whatever means) of the time-honored "Blow Horn" warning sign from the old mill at Routes 82 and 841 here in West Marlborough.
The protest, organized in just a few days via Facebook and by word of mouth, took about 10 minutes: a procession of people drove through the crossroads and beeped while a bunch of enthusiastic folks stood up on the road bank waving and applauding. There was a lovely sense of community and affection.
My "Daily Local News" colleague Michael Rellahan, who drove all the way from West Chester for the occasion, outdid himself writing about the event, and I highly recommend his series of stories.
