Monday Manual: Smashing Pumpkins, Election Day, Taxes Due
See seven important things happening this week, including a pot pie sale, more Town Meeting and a high school groundbreaking
WAYLAND, MA — Welcome to the Nov. 1 edition of Monday Manual, where we highlight important events coming up during the week (plus a local fact) in seven Patch communities between Framingham and Worcester.
This week we're starting in Wayland, which sent three women to World War I. The Great War was the first where American women were allowed to serve. They didn't go to the front lines, but they paved the way for women in the armed services. The Wayland Public Library will give a longer talk about their Wayland ties on Sunday.
1) Wayland
A new event in Wayland is happening on Friday. The Wayland High School Connect Program students will hold a pumpkin smash in the school's parking lot. And they are looking for pumpkin donations.
