Medway is the gateway to one of the largest wilderness areas, Maine's north woods. This multi-million acre region is home
to Baxter State Park, numerous whitewater rafting outfitters, miles of snowmobile trails, and hundreds of pristine lakes and
rivers. Wildlife abounds in this natural, unspoiled environment.
And it is all here, just off Interstate 95, in Medway, Maine.

MEDWAY CENTENNIAL + 35
COME JOIN THE CELEBRATION!
The year, 2010, is "Medway’s 135th Birthday" and there will be a "Grand Celebration" from August 13th through August 22nd. Most
of the events that took place back in Medway’s Centennial, August 1975, (for those of you that can remember that far back) will
be reenacted along with many excellent added events from the new generation of Med-wayin-e-ins. This will be a "Glorious 10
Day Celebration" that no one will ever forget! Please make you plans early to ensure you can make it!
Also, please bring your family and friends, young and old, to join the many dedicated volunteer teams of people that are
working very hard to organize and implement this celebration. No one is too young or too old to help, be on a team and
celebrate! There is still much fun work needed to make this happen and the fellow-ship generated will be an everlasting
experience for everyone involved.
Call the Medway Town Office @ 207-746-3370 or 207-746-9531 to get your name on the list of volunteers or simply come to the posted
organizational meeting; we’d love ta have ya join the team!
