Reader Photo Feature: WCPA Hosts Storytime at Winter Farmers' Market

The Wayland Children and Parents Association uploaded a number of photos of the event to our Pics & Clips Gallery.

Is there anything cuter than a dad reading stories to a group of enraptured children? We don't think so. Which is why we were so excited to see that the Wayland Children and Parents Association had uploaded a number of photos to the Wayland Patch Pics & Clips Gallery after a recent storytime at the Wayland Winter Farmers' Market. We've included one image here, but check out the full gallery at the link above for all the images, plus many more that your neighbors have added. That Pics & Clips Gallery is the spot for the photos and videos you capture while out and about in Wayland. Maybe your image will be our next Patch Reader Photo Feature.

PHOTOS: Halloween Parade Brings Color, Costumes to Town Building

The annual Halloween Parade brought princesses, monkeys, Sesame Street characters and other fun to the Wayland Town Building.

Sandy may have thrown a wrench into the Halloween festivities this year, but that doesn't mean the Wayland Recreation Department/Wayland Children and Parent's Association Halloween Parade wasn't a success. After being rescheduled from its original Monday, Oct. 29 date, the Halloween Parade marched through the halls of the Wayland Town Building on Thursday, Nov. 1. Check out our images of the fun and please add your own shots (we saw plenty of parents there with cameras).
