Friday, Sept. 7
Auburn High School Football Team Hosts Season Opener: 7 p.m. The four-time defending Super Bowl champions will start their title defense at home against Shrewsbury High School on Friday. The last time they played a game, the Rockets were celebrating a 7-0 Super Bowl win over Hudson to win its fourth straight Central Massachusetts title. The team is looking to capture its fifth straight Super Bowl title this fall.
Relay for Life at Auburn’s Lemansky Park: 6 p.m. Teams of residents will fight cancer during an 18-hour Relay for Life this weekend on the track at Auburn’s Lemansky Park. The Central South County Relay for Life runs until noon Saturday. Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society for research to develop better treatments and eventually find a cure.
Each relay team has a member circling the track throughout the 18 hours. Teams receive donations in exchange for their promise to have someone walking the track for the entire event. There is plenty going on throughout the event, including a Survivors Lap, Luminaire Lap, live entertainment, a DJ and more. The Relay for Life invites the general public to stop by and watch, and people can still register for the event.
