<strong>Medway</strong> Pride Day will take<br />
place this year on Saturday, <strong>May</strong><br />
18, <strong>2019</strong> from 10 a.m. to 4: p.m. at<br />
the <strong>Medway</strong> Middle School (45<br />
Holliston Street). In the event of<br />
severe weather, <strong>Medway</strong> Pride<br />
Day will be cancelled. Each year,<br />
over 2,000 attend the event.<br />
“This is our 25th year of<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Pride day, it’s kind of<br />
a big deal,” says Sarah Stone, in<br />
her fourth year on the 5-member<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> Pride Day Committee,<br />
comprised of volunteers.<br />
“We’re adding a bunch of different<br />
activities and bringing a lot<br />
of other businesses. (About 60<br />
booths are expected, and there’s<br />
still time to sign up for a booth at<br />
$60.) There’s going to be a fitness<br />
class on the field, we’re bringing<br />

back the Frisbee dogs, and we’re<br />
bringing back Henry the Juggler.<br />
He was such a good sport, we<br />
had to relocate him under a tent<br />
last year in the rain.”<br />
Something new this year will<br />
be an indoor arts expo.<br />
“We wanted to bring in more<br />
of the community spirit and really<br />
celebrate all the artists in<br />
town,” says Stone. Artists and<br />
other community members,<br />
such as Girl Scouts, will not only<br />
display their crafts, but will also<br />
demonstrate them.<br />
Stone says <strong>Medway</strong> Pride<br />
will also feature a cornhole<br />
tournament this year, and the<br />
Hockomock YMCA will join<br />
the festivities with their inflatable<br />
Gaga ball pit. Starr and<br />
Glick Orthodontics will sponsor<br />
a free photo booth, and Boston<br />

Children’s Hospital will bring<br />
their bloodmobile to host a blood<br />
drive.<br />
<strong>Medway</strong> residents will also<br />
work together to create a flower<br />
pot garden.<br />
“We’re asking residents to<br />
decorate a flower pot, and then<br />
we’ll do a flower pot garden of<br />
decorated flower pots to be displayed<br />
at Pride Day,” says Stone.<br />
Of course, <strong>Medway</strong> Pride<br />
Day wouldn’t be the same without<br />
starting with the Bike Parade,<br />
in which kids can show off their<br />
decorated bikes on the track. If<br />
your elementary school child<br />
would like to participate in the<br />
bike parade, please email Shannon<br />
Warfield, shannondoesevents@gmail.com<br />
