The Memorial Day Committee meeting held on May 2, 2025, in Hubbardston, Worcester County, focused on logistical preparations for the upcoming Memorial Day events. A significant discussion centered around the parking situation on the common, particularly concerning a property owned by Bill Homans.

Committee members expressed concerns about the potential for increased congestion due to trailers and horse trucks, recalling similar issues from the previous year. It was noted that Homans had recently experienced a fire at his farm, which may complicate the situation further. The committee emphasized the need for clear access to the road to accommodate floats and other vehicles for the Memorial Day parade.

Additionally, members discussed reaching out to local residents, including Kathy, who runs a nearby store, to gather more information and coordinate efforts. The overall goal remains to ensure a smooth and successful Memorial Day celebration while addressing any logistical challenges that may arise from local property use.

As the committee continues its preparations, the focus will be on maintaining clear communication with residents and ensuring that all necessary arrangements are in place for the holiday festivities.
