PLYMOUTH — The Distinguished Visitors Committee outlined plans for welcoming a Japanese delegation to Plymouth in August 2026, with Chair Kelly McElreath hosting four members of the prior July 2025 Shichigahama trip who reported high Japanese enthusiasm for the sister-city relationship. The five-member committee discussed a fair on the Town Hall Lawn, First Friday coordination with downtown businesses, banners, English-Japanese business cards, and tours of Pilgrim Hall and Town Brook construction, agreeing to build a final calendar at the next meeting. McElreath will follow up with Hotel 1620 on reservations and the Plymouth School Arts Coordinator on plans for the March 11 tsunami anniversary.
