Sullivan s Travels: Local Relay for Life takes to the road this year
This year’s Relay for Life of Natick, Framingham, Sherborn, Ashland and Holliston is hitting the road.
According to Lewis Glass, one of this year’s organizers, plans call for a “Rolling Relay,” starting at Dover-Sherborn High School, then on to Natick with a finish in Framingham.
There will be an FM transmitter to broadcast the ceremonies in each location and “on the road” between locations.
Organizers are also planning a modified luminaria ceremony using lawn signs, as well as live entertainment along the route, a car decorating contest, and a scavenger hunt.

Sullivan s Travels: Natick begins planning for Memorial Day
The calendar may read April, but Natick is already making plans for Memorial Day.
Like last year, there will be no “traditional” parade. Instead, there will be a car parade through town, with stops at the cemeteries and the Town Common.
There will also be a stop at the Indian Burial Ground on Pond Street, where the Sons of the American Revolution will conduct a re-internment ceremony for Alexander Quapish, a Praying Indian who fought during the Revolutionary War.
Also, the annual Transfer of Flags will be held virtually this year.
Details will be announced in the coming weeks.
