DIRECTIONS

From Route 495: Take Exit 23B, Route 9 West. Once on Route 9, go 1.7 miles to Route 30
West (exit on right). In .1 mile turn right onto Route 30 for 1.5 miles. At the second set of
lights, turn left into Bay State Commons. Follow the access road through the shopping
center, staying to the left for .4 miles. Keep Stein Mart on your right and follow the road
behind Stein Mart. Turn left onto Brigham St. *(a gravel road), follow for .2 miles then turn
right into the parking lot. Keep the building on your left. The Surefire entrance is on the left
towards the end of the building.
From the Mass Pike traveling East: Take Exit 11, Route 122, Millbury. After paying toll, go
right off the exit ramp on 122 South for 1.5 miles. Take a left onto Bridge St, Route 30
East for .2 miles. At the first light, go right following Route 30 East for 6 miles into the
Westborough rotary. Take the second right out of the rotary onto Brigham St. Continue on

Please note that many GPS systems are incorrectly sending to Cottage St.

Pay close attention to the driving directions. The town of Westborough does not
allow postings on phone or other poles. Exhibitors may not park in front of the
loading bays in the building space adjacent to SureFire. Parking is allowed only close
to the facility, along the woods across from the entrance, and along the railroad
tracks at the far end of the building. Please follow the directions of the attendant.

After getting lost the first time I went there, here are a couple of hints.
If you miss the access road and go as far as the Rotary, go around till you see the 7/11
then take a right onto Brigham Street, go to the end to the truck terminal, SureFire is in the
end of the building. Alice
