NuMed, the only national business in the tiny town of Hopkinton, makes cardiovascular devices for people with heart problems, but especially for children with congenital heart disease:

The lawn tractor brigade:

And the same neighbor's children rode the schoolhouse float for the Hopkinton Historical Society:

Sand Hill Stables, in nearby St. Regis Falls, had a large group of horses and riders:
