Things To Do around Westwood This Weekend: Sat June 8 - Sun June 9
Darlene Cancell
Editor
There's plenty to do around Westwood this weekend. . .
There are just a handful of spaces left to register for Saturday's Mocktails & Must Reads at Westwood Public Library as of this posting, where attendees will enjoy building their list of summer reading while enjoying mocktails, snacks, and a free gift for attending.
Pre-readers and their families can find amusement at Westwood Young Women's Club annual Touch-A-Truck. Or little ones and their families can help celebrate the birthday of Dudley, the Scottish Highland Bovine, at Sherborn's Unity Farm Sanctuary.
On Sunday, both Westwood and Medfield hold their respective Pride celebrations as the communities welcome the month of June as Pride Month. Expect to find music, activities, and fun at these free events.
Have an event to share with our community? It's easy to self-post your announcement to Westwood Minute for free! Community guidelines for posting and a video tutorial can be found here.
