Maddox and King first saw the country icon in concert in 1997 when Brooks performed at the Worcester Centrum. Now over two decades later, the sisters saw Brooks once again, but this time in a much more intimate setting. The only way into the show was to win tickets through local country radio stations, and after striking out on multiple attempts, Maddox resigned herself to miss- ing the show. But the Kraft Sports + Entertainment team surprised the lifelong Foxborough resident with two tickets to the exclusive concert. “You just get surprised because you’re hoping you’re going to win tickets and you never do,” Maddox said. “I was so excited.

The GOFI service dogs and their trainers enjoyed a sunny day at Gillette Stadium as they underwent scent training on the field and in the lower concourse. kicking it up a notch Local Service Dogs Train at Gillette The Golden Opportunities for Independence (GOFI) Service Dogs took to the Gillette Stadium field and lower concourse Feb. 29 for scent training and exposure to a new environment. The GOFI Dogs organization works to empower people with disabilities to live more fulfilling lives with the love and assistance of their dogs and mentors. As part of their rigorous training, GOFI Dog trainers expose the Golden Retrievers to a variety of environments, ensuring they will be prepared for virtually any situation they could face with their mentors. Service dogs have been placed throughout the surrounding communities and two have been matched with Foxborough residents, with several other Town residents on a waiting list. Gillette Stadium hosted the GOFI Dogs as part of Community Resource Dog Training, a program that brings service dogs into the surrounding communities, bridging the gap between public safety officers and the communities they serve. Venna Carroll has lived in Foxborough for 25 years and been involved with the GOFI Dogs organization for the past three years, first as a volunteer and now as Chief Finance Officer. She accompanied the dogs on their trip to Gillette Stadium and illustrated the importance of the visit. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” Carroll said. “We had never done that before, we never had the access before, so to actually have them be able to train there and witness that was amazing. I think the officers were very thrilled to be there and be down on the field. For most of us, it was the first time ever being on the field, so it was very humbling.” As part of their ongoing rigorous training regiment, the GOFI Dogs have visited Patriot Place countless times for exposure training at Bass Pro Shops, Foxboro Station, Showcase Cinema de Lux, the Grand Staircase and other locations throughout the property. “Patriot Place is a wonderful place to be able to go and the fact that we were able to train inside the actual Gillette Stadium was amazing,” Carroll said. “It was our first time in the stadium and Patriot Place has given us a lot of different experiences.” 7 Partners in Patriotism
