Anniversary Committee,
said. “We had over three
hundred participants in
the parade. All of them
showed up on time and

Lt. Genga commended
state legislators Michael
Moore, David Muradian
Jr. and Ryan Fattman for
“coming through really
big” with the $25,000
that was needed for the
fireworks, and UniBank for
taking on the role of main
sponsor.

“I’m glad it’s over but
I enjoyed it while it was
happening. I can’t think of
anything that went wrong.
I was very surprised,” he
said.
Lt. Genga also noted
that his wife, Christy,
played an important role
with marketing, social
media publicity and fundraising.
“All roads lead to
Northbridge!” UniBank
President and CEO Mike
Welsh said, before introducing
Grand Marshal Ken
Warchol—a logical choice
for that honor given Mr.
Warchol’s longstanding
work with the Northbridge
Historical Society. Mr.
In our Summer Guide it was incorrectly stated that the Grafton Farmers Market
took place on Thursdays. It actually takes place on Wednesdays. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused.

Warchol invoked the name
of Peter Hackett, which
he often does, as a person
whose vision paved the
way for the town and the
Blackstone Valley’s eventual
acceptance as a U.S.
national park.
The 250th Anniversary
Committee’s largely
unsung labors resulted in
a steady stream of floats,
many of them representing
local businesses and
organizations. Foxy Travel,

There were tractors.
There were politicians.
There was the Boston
Firemen’s Band. There was
candy being thrown to
children.
Urged to call it a morning
as the action hit a brief
lull, one woman was heard
to say “I’m not leaving. I’m
sitting right here. I’m not
done yet.”
