Sullivan s Travels: Natick begins planning for Memorial Day
The calendar may read April, but Natick is already making plans for Memorial Day.
Like last year, there will be no “traditional” parade. Instead, there will be a car parade through town, with stops at the cemeteries and the Town Common.
There will also be a stop at the Indian Burial Ground on Pond Street, where the Sons of the American Revolution will conduct a re-internment ceremony for Alexander Quapish, a Praying Indian who fought during the Revolutionary War.
Also, the annual Transfer of Flags will be held virtually this year.
Details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Sullivan s Travels: A look back at 2020 in Natick
Goodbye and good riddance.
Between a coronavirus pandemic that stretched wwwaaayyy too long, and an election season that got wwwaaayyyy too intense, it’s small wonder we’re not in a dark corner, peeking over the parapets from time to time and waiting for all this to just go away.
And yet, there were good moments, mainly from those who managed to adapt to the new demands imposed by the pandemic.
Take Family Promise Metrowest, for example. In the spring, they usually hold a walk featuring most of the participating congregations; the walk was dropped, and an online fundraiser took its place. That fundraiser raised nearly $250,000.
