Lake Prior loses one of its fixtures

On a nice day last week, one of the swans on Lake Prior in Woonsocket was found dead in the lake. According to witnesses who were enjoying the great weather and walking around the lake that afternoon, they saw that the two swans were either mating or fighting, and on the walkers’ next lap around the lake, they saw one of the swans floating in the water with its head down and feet up. 

Woonsocket’s City Finance Officer Tara Weber stated that her office had received a few reports of the swans mating in the past two weeks. However, now, no one is sure of what was actually happening since one of the beautiful birds didn’t survive. 

At the time to go to press, there hadn’t been an update on what was going to be done with the other swan, such as whether it should be sold or if the other one should be replaced to have a happy couple adorn the beautiful lake once again. The Sanborn Weekly Journal will keep readers updated as we receive further official information about decisions made regarding this issue.
