CUMMINGTON – In the only contest on the town’s May 10 election ballot, four people will face off for three seats on the Cummington Recreation and Pettingill Memorial Field Committee.
Incumbents Laurie Freitag, Donna Forgea, and Amy Grallert are all running for re-election, and Joshua Wachtel is also looking for a seat on committee. Peg Cowen was nominated to run for the committee at this year’s Town Caucus, but ultimately decided against doing so.
The election will take place from 1 to 8 p.m. at the Community House.
