Several cast members from FEARnet's TV show 'Holliston' signed DVDs for fans yesterday.
The Walk Against Breast Cancer may have been on Sunday, but yesterday a DVD signing of the first season of 'Holliston' helped raise more money. Adam Green, a Holliston native, and other members (Laura Ortiz, Joe Lynch and Corri English) of the cast stopped in to Fiske's General Store for an hour to talk to fans about the first season of the show and plans for the second season. Green said a Christmas episode will air this December. He also said the second season, which finished filming on location yesterday, will air late next spring. Fiske's owner John Paltrineri took the signing as a way to give back to the community. Five dollars from each DVD and Blu-ray sold was donated to the Walk Against Cancer. A total of $300 was raised.
