Read moreA group of Weston trail and road runners has started up a Weston Turkey Trot on the Mass Central Rail Trail for all of us who need some group inspiration and pre-gigantic-meal calorie burning.

Read moreYes, it is that time of year with holiday fairs, festivals, sales, and PARTIES. I am only miffed that I forgot to post last week’s WCL event as a JoSTice League event as anyone who has read this page more than once knows that I like to call the Josiah Smith Tavern the “JoSTice” and that’s where the Friendsgiving was
