🎄 The annual holiday lights and decorated tree on the Common are one of Cohasset’s most cherished traditions.

However, Chair Ellen Maher told the select board this week that the facilities department – which has decorated the Common in the past – will find doing so again this year to be a challenge, based on their current workload – including Town Hall, the new library pavilion, and the schools.

🏒 Losing the final game of the season is never fun, but in some cases it can sting less knowing that the second season is right ahead, and said loss was to one of the best teams in the state.

That might have been the case Friday afternoon as the Cohasset field hockey team ended up dropping a 5-2 decision at Hingham.
