David Lewis, Jr., ex-MFH, to Speak on the History of the Norfolk Hunt Club
The featured speaker at the Medfield Historical Society meeting on Monday, November 3, 2014 will be David W. Lewis, Jr. , ex-Master of the Fox Hounds (MFH) (1973 – 1980) and member of the Norfolk Hunt Club. The narrated slide presentation will be held in the basement of First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 26 North Street, Medfield beginning at 7:30 PM.
David is the editor of the definitive book on the history of Norfolk Hunt Club, “The Norfolk Hunt: One Hundred Years of Sport,” 1995. He will talk about the history of (drag) fox hunting with the Norfolk Hunt Club since its origins in 1895 interjecting entertaining stories about some of its prominent members — such as Henry Vaughn (MFH) and Miss Amelia Peabody, and notable events of the Club over the last 100 years — such as annual Farmer’s Day celebration and the traditional Thanksgiving Day hunt.
This is an opportunity to learn first-hand about a tradition that is emblematic of the rich and distinctive culture of Medfield, Dover, Sherborn, and surrounding towns.

Have you heard the news? The Angel Run is spreading its wings! Recently the USA Track & Field Association came to Medfield and certified the course as an official 5K. As a result the starting line has been moved to Medfield High School and the post race party will be in the Blake Middle School cafeteria giving us more room and getting rid of that annoying bottleneck that always happened at the one main door. Runners, walkers and strollers will still follow just about the same course as in years past and can expect to see all their favorite decorations and entertainers on the route!
What can you do? Register today for $25.00 per runner at Medfield Foundation and start guessing what color this year’s shirt will be. Please also consider a donation to the Medfield Foundation and put a special message on the back of that t-shirt. All donations really help us achieve our goals. Runners registered by November 3rd get the Angel Run t-shirt included with their registration.
Proceeds from the race help Medfield families in need. This is a perfect way to kick off the holiday season with a good deed and a great run/walk. We hope to see you on Sunday, December 7th at 2pm with bells on!
Cheers!

Bring the kids to a fun concert just for them at Dale Street School this Saturday during school vacation week. Stacey Peasley has been entertaining families in the Boston area since 2008. In that short time, she has won the Creative Child Magazine 2012 Top CD of the Year Award, the 2011 Parents’ Choice Recommended Award, the 2010 Nickelodeon Parents Connect Parents’ Pick Award for Best Party Entertainer, and her music has been heard on radio programs nationwide, including Sirius XM’s Kids Place Live. Her talent and love of children has connected with families, and she has gained a loyal following in the Metrowest area! Stacey performs at many events including preschools, fundraisers, and birthday parties, and has been a part of premier local events including Boston Greenfest, Boston Medical Center’s HalloweenTown and Halloween Fest, and the Fenway Park Entertainment room for the children of the uniformed players! She has played notable venues including The Regent Theater, Coolidge Corner Theater, The Center for the Arts in Natick, the Amazing Things Arts Center, and the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks and Musikfest in Pennsylvania. May School Library Journal says, “Peasley’s style is joyful, playful, and inventive. These will become a favorite of the preschool set during rest and play.” Tickets for this fun concert are $10 for adults and $8 for children.

About the Lowell Mason FoundationLowell Mason (1792-1872) was born in Medfield, Massachusetts and is considered the Father of Music Education in America He was instrumental to introducing music as part of the regular curriculum to America’s public schools as well as professionalizing the teaching of music. The Lowell Mason Foundation was formed in 2010 by a group of concerned Medfield citizens and music educators after it was learned that Lowell Mason’s birthplace had been sold and was slated for demolition. In one year the group successfully moved the house to safety, which occurred on April 19, 2011. The Foundation continues to raise funds to restore and expand Lowell Mason’s birthplace for use as a historic, cultural and educational site. |

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
