Wally the Green Monster, State Rep. Galvin to Visit Canton on Friday

State Rep. William Galvin (D-Canton) is making a special appearance with a special friend in town this Friday, Aug. 10. 

Alongside Galven will be none other than Wally the Green Monster; both will be visiting the Massachusetts Hospital School to celebrate the school's 29th Annual Family Day. 

The event will allow guests to meet with counselors, nurses and specialists and see what children have experienced during their last seven weeks of camp there, including events such as horseback riding and arts and crafts, according to an announcement from the school on Wednesday.

For nearly three decades, the yearly event has been a highlight for the students and their families, and, specific to this year, will have the added fun of the appearance of Wally the Green Monster from the Boston Red Sox.

The event kicks off at 9 a.m. with a welcome ceremony, and will also include the following activities:

• Family Tours of Summer Programs: 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. 
• Summer Video – Brayton School Auditorium: 10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. 
• BBQ Lunch – Under the Tents: 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. 
• Departure: 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
