From Kathleen Derian –

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

Yesterday there was a fairy house event run by Kathleen Derian on the banks of Vine Brook at the Montrose School, that made hundreds of young kids really, really excited and happy. There were even pony rides on colorful unicorns!

The fairy house below was created by Kurt Jackson’s MAP kids, and was the largest and most elaborate of the fairy houses.

“Medfield Decarbonizers” webinar, 7:30 PM, 10/8 via Zoom

Posted on September 30, 2024 | Comments Off on “Medfield Decarbonizers” webinar, 7:30 PM, 10/8 via Zoom

Climate Action in Medfield

Thinking about installing heat pumps in your home or getting solar panels?  Maybe your current car needs to be replaced and you are thinking about purchasing an electric vehicle?  These are the most impactful actions one can take to decrease their carbon footprint as well as greenhouse gas pollution in the town of Medfield. Many fellow residents have done just that, and you can hear from some of them on Tuesday, October 8th at 7:30 pm. The Medfield Energy Committee dubs them “Medfield Decarbonizers”.  Who are they, you might ask?  They are Medfield neighbors who drive electric vehicles, have installed solar panels or heat pumps and they are a great resource for anyone considering these investments!

Medfield Environment Action (MEA) and the Medfield Energy Committee (MEC) are hosting a “Medfield Decarbonizers” webinar on Tuesday, October 8th at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.  Medfield Decarbonizers have taken action to reduce the carbon output of everyday activities such as driving a car, heating and cooling a home or using electricity.  Hear the experiences of fellow neighbors regarding their purchases and everyday use of these sustainable technologies and ask them your questions.  In addition, learn why one panelist chose to opt up to “Medfield 100”, which supplies 100% renewable electricity through Medfield Community Electricity.

Preregister for the free webinar at tinyurl.com/decarbonizers and the Zoom link will be sent to you. For more information visit meamedfield.org  or email MEAMedfield@gmail.com with any questions.  Visit the MEA website to see videos of previous, educational webinars.  MEA is proud to network with Sustainable Medfield and MEC working together towards Medfield’s Net Zero 2050 Goal.Climate Action in Medfield
