Past MCPE Trivia Fundraiser

From today’s photo memories my OneDrive shared –

Mike Sullivan and Mark Fisher being really good sports to both join me as the Town House Team at a MCPE trivia fundraiser, and to wear the fanciest team hats in the room. Despite my ringers’ vast knowledge about Medfield and our winning thinking hats, we lost.

Medfield Community Market opens 6/1

From Lauren Zembron –

The Medfield Community Market Executive Committee is pleased to invite you to the opening day of our second season on Sunday, June 1st. The Medfield Community Market will be held on the grass next to Meetinghouse Pond, behind the First Parish UU Church (26 North Street) from 9 AM to 1 PM. Parking is available on Upham Road, Frairy Street, and in the parking lot behind 511 Main Street (accessible from Upham Rd). 

Many customers’ favorite vendors will be returning, including Tangerini’s Farm and Clodhopper Farm, the latter of which accepts SNAP & HIP. Attendees can also look forward to many new vendors, including Medfield’s own Solarium Coffee, offering specialty coffee drinks & packaged whole bean coffee. The MCM Executive Committee is also looking forward to welcoming farm wineries and/or farm breweries to the market this season. 

The Medfield Community Market was created to support local farmers and makers as well as to bring high quality locally grown agricultural items and locally made specialty products to our community. The market strives to cultivate trusting and enduring relationships between customers and vendors by placing an emphasis on honesty and transparency in product growing and/or making practices. It is a “producer only” market which means all of the vendors grow, create, or produce the products that they sell.

Not only will this season grow our family of vendors, food trucks, and entertainment, but we are excited to announce the addition of themed market days, the first of which will celebrate National Dog Party Day at our market on June 22nd. We encourage you to follow the Market’s social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram (@MedfieldCommunityMarket) to learn more about these special events and weekly updates.

As previously announced, this season also welcomes the addition of Alex Maider as the Market’s On-Site Coordinator. Alex brings her specialized experience from Bellforge Arts Center events to her new role with the Medfield Community Market. “I can’t wait to welcome our attendees and vendors to another successful season of the Market. I frequently attended the market with my family last season and loved what it brings to our community. I am thrilled to be part of this and look forward to spending my Sunday mornings on the lawn of Meetinghouse Pond.”

The success of the Medfield Community Market is dependent on our community’s support, which has been abundant, as well as regular attendance and patronage. The Executive Committee is incredibly grateful to our Flagship Sponsor, Middlesex Savings Bank, and our seasonal sponsors, Needham Bank and Morahan Landscaping, all of whom were essential to launching the market this spring. Please spread the word about the market’s second season opening day on June 1st at Meetinghouse Pond. We look forward to meeting you at the market and kicking off our second season with you. 

Thank you for supporting our community and our market!

All My Best, 

Lauren Zembron

Office Hours postponed to NEXT FRIDAY

The Center is busy getting ready for its yard sale today, so I have postponed my office hours to next Friday, May 9 from 9-10 AM.
