• Local Event: Open House - Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine (patch.com) — Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is opening its Grafton campus for a family-friendly open house with tractor rides, hands-on activities, and behind-the-scenes looks at labs and teaching spaces. Visitors can explore simulation labs, anatomy exhibits, and kid-focused stations like a teddy bear clinic, while learning about Tufts programs and enjoying on-site food, though personal pets must stay home for safety.
   

• Ex-Mass. Town Official To Plead Guilty To Pot Investor Fraud (law360.com) — A former elected official from the town of Grafton is set to plead guilty to misleading investors out of nearly $500,000 tied to planned cannabis businesses, according to a recent court filing. While full details sit behind a paywall, the case centers on how he allegedly diverted those funds to cover debts from other ventures, a development Grafton residents may want to follow closely.
