I want to
take this opportunity to welcome you to the City of
Leominster. Our community is rich in tradition and
filled with opportunities for recreational adventure
and economic success. Our residents and business
owners take pride in their City and showcase its
beauty and vitality throughout the year at community
events both in the heart of downtown and at our
city-owned apple orchard, Sholan Farms.
Leominster
is also known as the "Plastics Capital." Our first
manufacturers were pioneers of their trade. From the
production of combs in the 1700's to the development
of the original pink flamingo in the 1950's, today
we are a hub for business specializing in innovative
mold making techniques.
I invite you to come hike on
our twenty-five miles of trails, tour our beautiful
historic buildings and visit the myriad of
locally-owned shops and restaurants that make our
community unique. Our city truly embraces all four
seasons. Our downtown Winter and Summer Strolls, our
Apple Blossom and Scarecrow Festivals in the spring
and fall at Sholan Farms and the celebration of our
native son at the Johnny Appleseed Festival in
September, attract thousands of visitors from
throughout Worcester County and beyond, who come to
enjoy our commitment to simple family fun.
Whether
you are considering visiting or relocating here,
please allow me to extend a warm welcome from our
mid-size city with a small-town charm. Dean
J. Mazzarella,
Mayor City of Leominster
