Overview

  • The Select Board is scheduled to consider the measure at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, with media invited to Town Hall.
  • If approved, the town would adopt "MAYEnard" on Sunday, Feb. 8 to align with Super Bowl LX.
  • Town leaders describe the plan as a lighthearted community celebration intended to boost local spirit and visibility.
  • Local businesses are organizing Patriots watch parties, and residents have largely reacted favorably to the proposal.
  • The gesture comes as Drake Maye, an MVP finalist who led a 14-3 season and the AFC title, was listed limited with a right shoulder and said he aims to reach 100% before the game.
