There will also be giveaways of gift baskets prepared by Lord's Department Store, just like at the traditional Midnight Madness events.

Store owners Nancy Kelly-Lavin and Tom Kelly say the registers will be open during this one last "Midnight Madness" event where merchandise is now marked at half price and Lord's souveniers, including t-shirts, will be available for purchase.

People who pre-ordered shirts will be able to pick them up at the party. 

The event is being hosted by the Medfield Remember's Lord's Committee which is spearheaded by Nancy Norris who wanted to make sure the department store in the heart of downtown Medfield didn't slip away without proper recognition.

"For me, the best way to show my appreciation is to help create and share a celebration that would give Lord's and the Kelly family a proper send-off from the community they have helped to shape all these years, and to help figure out a way to preserve Lord’s role in our community going forward," Norris said. 

See you at the party!
