Here are a few pictures of Westwood's annual celebratory event, from Friday night fireworks following the high school football game, to the double rainbow capping off Saturday's event under a cloudy but bright sky.
I wasn't able to roam about as much as I would have liked to for snapping pictures. I was staffing Westwood Minute's booth and talking to many wonderful people -- thanks to everyone who stopped by. And thank you, new subscribers, and thanks to those who shared their story ideas!

I completely agree. Washington St. also has some terrible patches, especially the handicap ramps. I don’t understand why the DPW is responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of homes and businesses. It seems that those should be the responsibility of the property owner.
Cloudy , with a high of 41 and low of 26 degrees. Overcast during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, overcast overnight.
A true hero, though I'm not sure about the naming of the intersection after him. We already have a school named after him. Is there no one else who dedicated their life to this Town that the intersection could be named in memory of?
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps other candidates for a named intersection might be considered by the Select Board if presented with a petition or similar process as what was used here.
