Sullivan s Travels: Something different for 4th celebration this year
The Friends of the Fourth have announced that there will be no parade this year.
“There are many factors that led to our decision, including the uncertain timeline for the vaccinations, return to larger gatherings, the safety of our parade participants and attendees, and the financial obligations involved in putting on a traditional parade,” the Friends said in a release last week.
“We understand how important this tradition is to many residents and this year, we wanted to offer something for the holiday weekend. We are thinking outside the box, and planning to have a Float House contest with scavenger hunt. The Float House idea came to us from the amazing photos out of New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year.
Natick farm conjures up a different version of Maple Magic
It takes 40 gallons to make one gallon of maple syrup.
NATICK – The snow may be on the ground for weeks to come, but you could hear the first sounds of spring at the Natick Community Organic Farm on Eliot Street on Feb. 12.
Not the crack of the bat, but the whir of an auger drilling a hole (or two) into sugar maple trees.
On a sunny Friday morning, farm Executive Director Casey Townsend and a volunteer, Antonio Nissi, kicked off the maple sugaring season by tapping the farm’s own sugar maple trees. Over the next week or so, the farm will tap between 500 and 800 trees in several towns, said Townsend.

Goodbye and good riddance.
Between a coronavirus pandemic that stretched wwwaaayyy too long, and an election season that got wwwaaayyyy too intense, it’s small wonder we’re not in a dark corner, peeking over the parapets from time to time and waiting for all this to just go away.
And yet, there were good moments, mainly from those who managed to adapt to the new demands imposed by the pandemic.
Take Family Promise Metrowest, for example. In the spring, they usually hold a walk featuring most of the participating congregations; the walk was dropped, and an online fundraiser took its place. That fundraiser raised nearly $250,000.
