BRIMFIELD — On Saturday, June 9, residents, town officials, and emergency responders enjoyed a picnic on the Town Common to celebrate the progress that has been made over the last year in rebuilding homes and businesses. For many people who have spent countless days recovering from the June 1 tornado, it was a great chance to relax, eat a hot dog or hamburger, and listen to music. Volunteers who made the recovery effort much less daunting were also hon- ored.
