The Hubbardston Memorial Day Committee is taking proactive steps to ensure the safety and comfort of attendees during the upcoming Memorial Day events. During a recent meeting on April 11, 2025, committee members emphasized the importance of providing adequate shade and hydration for children participating in the festivities.

Committee discussions highlighted the need for shaded areas to protect attendees from the heat, particularly during the peak hours of the day. Members expressed concern about the potential for heat-related issues, especially for younger participants. To address this, plans are being made to ensure that water stations are available for rehydration throughout the event.

Additionally, committee members shared personal experiences and suggestions for managing heat during outdoor events. They noted the importance of educating attendees on simple practices, such as avoiding locking knees while standing, to help prevent fainting or discomfort.

The committee's focus on these safety measures reflects a commitment to creating a welcoming and secure environment for all participants. As Memorial Day approaches, the Hubbardston community can look forward to a well-organized event that prioritizes the health and well-being of its attendees.
