This letter today from the Town of Medway about their two hour parade on 9/21/13 to celebrate Medway’s 300th anniversary, since breaking away from Medfield. Richard DeSorgher tells me the left Medfield because of its refusal to build a second church for them on their side of the river. Now in retaliation yet again, after first breaking away, now they schedule their parade on Medfield Day –

This year, the Town of Medway is celebrating its 300th anniversary. First settled in 1657, it was incorporated as an independent community in October 1713. Until that time Medway was part of Medfield, forming its western border.
In recognition of our tercentennial, Medway has planned a number of commemorative events. One of the premier events will be the Tercentennial
Parade, which will take place at 1 PM on Saturday, September 21, 2013.
Eighteen bands are scheduled to perform in the procession and we anticipate the
parade duration to be approximately two hours.
It is with distinct pleasure to invite you on behalf of the Town of Medway and
the Medway 300 Committee to observe the parade at our viewing stand, located
at the terminus of the parade route.
We would be honored to have your participation in what is sure to be a highlight of our yearlong celebration. We appreciate your consideration of our invitation and look forward to hearing from you. Please contact Allison Potter, Board of Selectmen’s office, at 508-533-3264 to let us know if you will be joining us.
Very truly yours,
John Foresto & Dennis Crowley
Selectmen and Co-Chairmen
Medway 300 Committee
