On April 27, Hopkinton High School Car Club held its first annual car show, featuring nearly 200 vehicles, including a Tesla Cybertruck and a 1932 Ford Roadster. Club president Surya Raja Amudhan and faculty advisor Anthony Gonzalez credited the event's success to meticulous planning and community collaboration.

Hopkinton's upcoming election will significantly impact its Select Board with the voting in of two new members followed by a restructuring to elect a new chairperson and vice-chair. While every member holds equal voting power, the chair bears more responsibilities, including agenda setting with the Town Manager and generally serving as the board's spokesperson. Current Vice Chair Shahidul Mannan seeks the chairmanship, supported largely by party loyalists. Outcomes heavily depend on election results, with different scenarios predicting either Mannan or former chair Bryan Herr could prevail, influenced by the loyalties and previous actions of the board members.
