Upper Charles Trail - Milford Section
For the cyclists in the area, the Boston Globe West edition for Sunday had an article about the rail trail efforts in Milford:

Where is the Upper Charles Trail in Milford?

Is there a group doing something like this in Franklin?
Yes, there is. The Franklin Citizens Rail Trail Committee is working to develop the section of the SNETT that starts in Franklin and runs to Palmer, MA. You can fill out an application to join the committee or donate online via Paypal here
The Milford bike path eventually will loop more than 7 miles from the Hopkinton line through downtown and back to the Holliston line. The project is nearing completion of what the town refers to as Phase 2 of the trail, which stretches from the Milford Senior Center, across Route 109 and under I-495 along power lines to the Holliston town line. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is in the works for Sept. 24, according to Reno DeLuzio, former town planner and chairman of the Milford Upper Charles River Trail Committee. Phase 1, where the Millets were riding last Tuesday, stretches from downtown to the Hopkinton town line, skirting playing fields, woods, and water along the way.
A third stretch, linking the first two, is still being designed.Read the full article here:

"We'll always be tied to St. Rocco's"
For those participating in the 33rd Feast of St. Rocco, the patron saint of the sick, the event is more than a time for socializing and eating Italian favorites like cannoli and lasagna. Like Brunelli, for most it's a matter of the heart.
Brunelli and his cousin, Mickey Degrazia, two of the five co-chairmen of St. Rocco's and both Franklin natives, have helped plan the feast for three decades now.
This year, they started the planning process July 25. They expect 50,000 to 60,000 people will attend this weekend, Brunelli said.

"These are objects that excite the imagination"
For something to do out of the rain, Worcester is not far away. There is a sword exhibit at the Higgins Armory Museum that sounds interesting!

Occupying a single third-floor gallery, the swords in the exhibit are displayed in separate display cases according to chronology and function.
In addition to several swords, a placard in each cabinet briefly explains the metal-making techniques used to forge them plus additional information on their special features such as the development of complex hilts to protect the user's hand and evolution of the short-bladed cutlass for fighting on board crowded vessels.
Some of the exhibit's sections include "Ancient Swords," "Medieval Swords," "After the Middle Ages," "Small Swords," "Naval Swords," "American Swords," "Swords of Ceremony and Fancy" and "Making and Using a Sword."
