Lexington town officials found a novel way to encourage people in Lexington Center to wear masks.

Four members of the Town's senior management dressed up as superheroes and passed out free masks Saturday morning, to the delight of children of all ages. Drivers honked and people asked to take photos with the dynamic foursome as they strolled down Mass. Ave., waving and urging everyone they met to stay safe and take the proffered mask, if only to pass on to someone else who might need one.

In 2 hours, they gave out over 2,000 masks and made a lot of people smile.

The superheroes alternate identities were revealed to be:

• Jim Malloy, Town Manager
• Kelly Axtell, Deputy Town Manager
• Derek Sencabough, Fire Chief
• Carolyn Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance.
