Westwood In A Minute: WYWC Recaps HarvestFest

By Jen Skala Bodio

Rain didn't dampen the festivities at the Westwood Young Women’s Club’s 3rd annual HarvestFest on October 21st! The event moved indoors at Westwood's Martha Jones School for a day of fall fun, including pumpkin decorating, crafts, music, storytime, an obstacle course, and cookie decorating. Hundreds of guests enjoyed sweets, cider, food trucks, and there was even a tented petting zoo outside for young animal enthusiasts.

The WYWC has supported the Westwood community through service, fundraising, and family-friendly events since 1971. The nonprofit group always welcomes new members interested in serving Westwood and connecting with our community. Learn more at wywc.org.
