Swing Dance to Live Music This Friday October 24, 7pm!

Head to the Dale Street Gym this Friday, October 24th, at 7pm for a night full of music, dancing and fun! The Swing Dance is back after such a successful event last year and you won’t want to miss what’s in store for this year!

Kathy Brophy is our new instructor who will be teaching East Coast Swing dancing! It’s much easier than Lindy Hop to learn and can be danced to just about any genre – country, jazz, R&B, etc… The award winning High School Jazz Ensemble and Soundwaves will serve as our “house band” and will be performing throughout the night.

Reluctant to dance, but still want to attend? There’s plenty of seating for those who just want to enjoy the music and atmosphere!

Sustainable Yard & Garden Tour – Sunday, 6/22, 3–5:30 pm

Posted on June 6, 2025 | Comments Off

From Helen Dewey, of Medfield Environment Action –

Sustainable Yard and Garden Tour

Medfield Environment Action will be hosting another Sustainable Yard and Garden Tour on Sunday, June 22, from 3 – 5:30 pm. Attendees will travel to four different gardens in Medfield. The homeowners will walk attendees through the yard and provide an overview of their garden and what makes it sustainable. Homeowners will discuss what they have planted, how they maintain it and any equipment that they use. The garden on Pine St and the one on Stagecoach Rd. were featured in the last tour in September, 2024. Come see the gardens in full bloom in June! It will be set up like a crawl in which folks move from garden to garden, at specific times, providing their own transportation. Car-pooling is encouraged! There is no cost to attend, and all are welcome. Register ahead of time at tinyurl.com/SustainableGardenTour-2025 to receive more information about each garden and any weather related updates.

Why would one want to strive for a yard that has a low impact on the environment? Conventional yard care can be time consuming, is destructive to the eco-system and harmful to an entire food web. For example: poison the grubs, birds are harmed by eating the grubs, use chemicals to achieve green grass, storm water becomes contaminated, moreover turf offers nothing in the way of food for nature. In addition, children and pets can be harmed when exposed to grass and yards with a lot of chemicals.

The homeowners on the tour will show how a sustainable, low impact yard is a work in progress but the benefits include lower maintenance costs, cleaner air to breath, (no gas powered leaf blowers), improved visual appeal, no secondary poisoning through the food web, re-use or composting of leaf materials on-site, conserving water, supporting biodiversity, “the living earth”, precious time available to focus on other activities and a sense of helping rather than harming, everybody wins.

Whether you are an avid gardener interested in learning some sustainable practices that you can implement or just curious as to what it is all about, join us on Sunday, June 22 to take a walk around some beautiful, thoughtful and eco-friendly gardens in Medfield. The flyer with the addresses of the gardens is posted on the MEA website, meamedfield.org. Any questions please email meamedfield@gmail.com

Eagle Scout Noah Hutchinson

From Hilli Passas –

Troop 10 celebrates their newest Eagle Scout, Noah Hutchinson

On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, Troop 10 honored their newest Eagle Scout, Noah Hutchinson, at an Eagle Court of honor at the UCC, Medfield. Noah’s scouting career started in Pack 8888 in Suzhou, China, then on to Pack 22 in Natick followed by Pack 113 Medfield. In Troop 10 Medfield, he found a place to grow, thrive, make life long friends and learn vital life skills such as Wilderness First Aid for his highlight trip canoeing 50 miles in the wilderness at Maine High Adventure. For Noah’s Eagle project he planned the Native Pollinator Garden at the Medfield Rail Trail on the corner of Harding and West Mill streets, procured a variety of native plants, planted and cared for the garden. The pollinator garden not only serves local wildlife, but adds to the delight of visitors and, as a demonstration garden, provides education on native plants.

Noah is an accomplished Senior at Medfield HS; singing in Soundwaves HS A Cappella choir; playing rugby for Wrentham Barbarians; is a black belt in karate and serving as a student teacher at Villari’s in Natick. He is a lifeguard at Kingsbury Club. This summer, he will train as an EMT. In the fall he is heading to Quinnipiac University to study Biomedical Science and play club rugby.

Medfield is lucky and grateful to have many active Scouts who carry out service projects and help make our town a great place to live.

The Fairies are grateful!

Hello Fairy Friends,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the fourth annual Fairy Walk. Despite the 3 times we had to postpone and the surprisingly windy weather the day of, we had a lovely day. A little over 500 people came to enjoy your houses, food and wares and the unicorn rides were a BIG hit!

I am so grateful for the incredible creativity, hard work and community spirit that made this event truly magical. A special thank you goes out to all the talented house creators whose enchanting fairy homes brought the trail to life and sparked wonder in every visitor. I am also deeply appreciative to the wonderful vendors, whose unique offerings and cheerful presence added joy and charm to the day.

All your fairy houses were incredibly well crafted and creatively designed. It made it difficult for the judges to make their choices.

Their results are listed below…

Most Creative Hattie Atkinson

Most Whimsical Livi Gazmani

Most Natural New -n- Towne

The Fan Favorites were…

First Place MAP Grades 4-5

Second Place British Miser and the Senior Ladies of Medfield

Third Place Charlotte and Abigail Smith

Honorable Mention Grace Finn

Most importantly, I want to extend heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, MEMO (Medfield Employers and Merchants Organization), Park and Rec department, especially Katie Walpert, and Amanda Russo from Montrose School. Your support made this event possible and helped bring the magic of the Fairy Walk to the whole community.

Now,as Spring blossoms and the flowers bloom, it is time for rest and relaxation

My heart is full…..

Best-

Kathleen
