Third and fourth graders will attend

Catching Up with the Weston Media Center: Movies, Garlic Mustard, Candidates and Bees

. It is no surprise that Weston Media Center is one of the Owl’s favorite non-profits in town. Home of the hilarious Wes-TEN which will soon enter production on its vigesimo-something (“vigesimo” is so much better than thirtieth, no? Thank you, Portuguese) and recorder of major school musical events and happenings, we are fortunate as a town to have a

Sunny Spring Days, Roadside Farmstands and Honor Systems

. Weston has long had a north-south fisticuffs (sometimes with central Weston as its own contender) and the Owl is not one to let bygones be bygones.

On Friday night April 28 at 7 pm, the Weston Wildcats Boys Lacrosse team takes on the Sharon Eagles under the bright lights (which are all aimed downward to not confuse migrating birdies) of Proctor Field at the

Event Reminders: Thursday, April 27 Needs a Time-Turner

. There are no fewer than three events this evening that the Owl would like to attend here in Weston, and yet…it’s double-soccer-practice night for the Owlets so she will sadly miss all three. One event is historical, one theatrical and one political (which could fall under theatrics, work with me here). Two will have the option of watching later:
