And as most Westonians also know, tomorrow is the Community Event known as Weston High School graduation at the Town Green at 5 pm. I

If you haven’t noticed, you should read this post, or stop by. I recommend stop by, and to make it one better, stop by tomorrow, June 1 at 6 pm for

Their unapologetic use of the word “Tory”–for a while there I thought we had given up on that word given its negative connotations (anti-Patriot, pro-Las Vegas Raiders maybe) and were going “Loyalist” but no, we are back to Tories and all their hisTORYcall tea-loving, scone-eating, beer-swilling traditions. In that

One owlet is a huge fan of their recipes–anything from pork dumplings and Dan Dan Mien to butter miso noodles and bubble tea. As most Westonians know, the Spellmans also own Heirloom next door and are Weston High School alums (go ‘cats!). To read more about Heirloom and

Next up in local business focus is Trailhead Education, a tutoring business recently launched by Weston alum (WHS’97 go ‘cats) and current resident, Emily Mullin and co-owner Kate Kuhn who is from not-Weston but we forgive her.

As of yesterday, or perhaps earlier, but definitely yesterday, Hannah and her husband Chris are no longer associated with Weston Provisions. This morning after the original post, the Owl spoke with co-owner Mark Lucas, who with wife Candace are

I’ll get to that in a minute. The Owl stopped by this afternoon on her way to get the owlets at the high school, and was greeted by owner Anne
