THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 Page 5 A Founders Day Celebration H ealth concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of what would have been the 40th Annual Saugus Founders Day last year. But the town’s most popular community event returned to Saugus Center last Saturday (Sept. 11). It was scaled back, but beautiful weather drew hundreds of town residents, former residents and visitors of all ages. (Saugus Advocate photos by Mark E.
