Salisbury Days 2025








I had a wonderful time at this year’s Salisbury Days and was honored to take part in the festival’s many events celebrating this beautiful seaside town — and the people who make it truly special.

At the Opening Ceremony this year, I was able to present official Senate citations in recognition of outstanding community members whose service and spirit have left a lasting impact on Salisbury:

Lifetime Achievement Award – Ed Gagnon

Here and Now Award – Misty Priest

Youth Award – Salisbury Lions Cubs

Following this ceremony, I joined the teams participating in the Salisbury, MA Lions Club annual kickball tournament at Lions Park and had the honor of rolling out the first 'pitch'!

I also was delighted to join SCTVMC's 94.1 COOL Radio for their live broadcast of The Time Machine with Finn & Rev. Jim at the Salisbury Days Car Show — a fun chance to connect with local residents, share stories, and celebrate everything that makes Salisbury unique.

Salisbury is truly “a great place to live and be,” not just for its stunning seaside setting, but because of the kindness, dedication, and connection of our neighbors.

A heartfelt thank-you to the Salisbury Days Committee, town officials, volunteers, and everyone who made this weekend such a success. Your hard work and pride in this community truly shined!
