Sparta Today is running a promotion that will offer customers the chance to win gift certificates from scratch-off tickets received from making purchases at participating Sparta businesses.
The âLucky & Localâ promotion will take place all month long, and any business located in Sparta is welcome to participate.
âShopping local is more convenient, but it also makes a huge difference for small businesses in our community. We encourage consumers to choose to spend your dollars locally,â said Elizabeth Morse, Sparta Chamber of Commerce executive director. âWhen you shop, eat and get your services done at a local business, it infuses money into our local economy, which helps enrich our community with other programs.â
This week s document for transcription is the 1733 Will of Joseph Morse (1667-1733) of Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, which is in Estate File 15528 in the Middlesex County Probate Court records.

The village of Sparta is hosting its first Restaurant Week, carryout-style.
Elizabeth Morse, director of the Sparta Downtown Development Authority, said Monday that Sparta TODAY the umbrella brand for the DDA and the Sparta Chamber is hosting Restaurant Week TO GO! from now through Jan. 16 as part of its mission “to communicate the opportunities to support local business and keep Sparta a vibrant place.”
The event is designed to promote local eateries that have been impacted by the statewide pause order for indoor dining due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
