It's primary election day, Andover! Here's our daily rundown of everything happening in town for Tuesday, Sept. 6, courtesy of Andover News.

Weather: More rain with a high of 65. Rain could be heavy at times with accumulation up to an inch. Skies will clear later tonight with a low of 56.

Correction: A Sept. 2 article in yesterday's newsletter gave the wrong spelling of the last name of Sophia Miele, the new student rep to the Andover School Committee. Andover News regrets the error.

On average, two newspapers close every week: By 2025, a third of the U.S. newspapers that existed in 2000 will have closed permanently. Don't let this happen in Andover. Consider making a pledge to support the Andover News Kickstarter and make sure we can continue to offer local, independent news in Andover.
