• Boroughs Family Branch YMCA, 4 Valente Drive  Westborough, Massachusetts 01581 

The YMCA  took a poll at the Boroughs, and the findings were unanimous: autumn is the best. Basically, it’s a lot easier dealing with August heat waves knowing sweater weather’s right around the corner.  To celebrate fall in its spooky splendor, the YMCA invites you & your family to Boo Bash 2019. From 6:00PM - 7:30PM, they're decking out the NAZ, setting up TWO bounce houses—and that’s just downstairs. The whole building’s getting a Halloween-style makeover, and they need you to help spread the word. No tickets. No sign-up. Bring your kids, your neighbors, your neighbors’ kids. While you're at it, why not invite Grandma? All are welcome.
