Rachel Van Heest, Westborough Girl Scout troop 30596, read about the Ecotarium's call for help in carving pumpkins for their annual Great Pumpkin Fest. The  idea was brought to her Girl Scout troop about helping out. Together the troop  came up with the idea to open it up to the thirty Girl Scout troops in town. Each of the 315 girls was invited to bring a parent with them, for safety reasons, and their own carving utensils.  The event was planned for a Sunday afternoon at the walkway at Fales School. Due to the storm that day girls and parents came and picked up pumpkin. They brought them home to carve and returned them for delivery.  With each pumpkin that was carved the girl  received a free ticket into the Ecotarium’s event. If the girls did not take their tickets then they were donated  to the Westborough’s YWCA. Special thanks to the parents that helped with the carving, picking up, and dropping off pumpkins. Without their help this event would not have been possible.

HOLIDAY HOUSE TOUR SET FOR DECEMBER 12TH

The Westborough Woman's Club is pleased to announce that the annual Holiday House Tour will be held on Saturday, December 12th. Five lovely Westborough homes will be open for ticket holders from 1-4 p.m.  Refreshments at the Evangelical Congregational Church will be open to ticket holders from 12:30-2:30 p.m.  Tickets are available from Priscilla Federici at 508-366-4538, Kathie Wong at 508-366- 0902 or Judy Wilchynski at 508-870-1895.

All of the five homes are varied in age and style this year.  There is a New England Cape style residence that was 1300 square feet, but has since been expanded.  The second house was built in the early 1800's. Many local families have called it home and many residences have great memories of the house. Another home was built in 1900 in the style of the New England cottage. A lovely saltbox house based on saltbox styles dating to 1797 will be open. It will show how modern living can be accommodated in a house based on plans of homes years ago.  Also on  the tour will be a home that is celebrating its 280th birthday.  It has been modernized for today's family living, and boasts a long history of many uses over the years.

The annual house tour supports the community projects and scholarships that the club sponsors in the area. The Westborough Woman's Club is celebrating its ninety third anniversary of community service to the town and many projects. Membership is open to any woman age 18 and over, from any town. For membership and club information please call Judy at 508-870-1895.

My husband and I are thrilled to be brand new residents here in Westborough and were honored to host our family for Thanksgiving. However we were incredibly dismayed to find that our family was all ticketed and fined for parking on the street in front of our home. Our home, on a holiday, in a quiet neighborhood??? Does this mean that we can never have visitors to our new home. Our driveway is small, so people will always need to park on the lawn/street in front of our home when they come to visit. I just can't believe that my entire family went home on Thanksgiving with leftovers and parking tickets! Welcome to the Neighborhood!
