Celebration - Quaboag Plantation's 350th Anniversary
Town of Brookfield, Brookfield, MA
In 2010, we will celebrate the 350th anniversary of the settlement of the Quaboag Plantation. The plantation was settled in 1660, made of the current-day towns of Brookfield, East Brookfield, New Braintree, North Brookfield, Warren, and West Brookfield.
As part of the celebration, a six-town parade will be held at noon on Sunday, September 19, 2010, with the theme of "March of History." We are looking for your help. The Brookfield unit will be marching first, and we would like to have as many residents, business, and groups participate as possible. We are looking for marchers, bands, and floats. As a parade of this size takes considerable planning, we are asking you to consider now wether or not you would like to participate. In particular, we encourage you to think about creating a float -- for your family, your neighborhood, your business, your workplace, your town department, your group, or your association.
We would like to have as many floats as we can, but to avoid duplication both within the Brookfield division and with the other divisions, we must sign up with the six-town parade committee for themes for our floats. This will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you think you would like to make a float for the parade, please contact us and let us know what your theme will be, so that we may claim it for Brookfield.
Possible themes include:
1) historical people/creatures from Brookfield (the infamous Spooners, tea-house owner Louise Galloway, writer Mary Jane Holmes, Borden mascot Elsie the Cow, etc.)
2) items Brookfield produced throughout its history (boots, bricks, bells)
3) geographical areas of town (lakes, the river, brooks, fields)
4) other items that represent Brookfield - past and present - to you (apples, trains, steamboats)
There is no limit to the number of floats we can have. Floats may not exceed 14 feet in height and 8 feet in width. The parade route will be 1.3 miles long, flat with no hills. More information will be available as the parade gets closer. Please start thinking now about how you would like to participate, and please contact us with your float theme so we can reserve it. If you would like help or ideas for a float theme, please contact us for assistance.
We look forward to a grand celebration! If you would like to help in other ways for the 2010 celebration or would like to join the Brookfield committee, please contact us.
Sincerely,
