Colonial Harvest Day in Downtown Westfield, MA

This post was updated on September 25, 2011

I spent a couple of hours on a lovely Indian Summer day at Westfield’s Colonial Harvest Day, which was a wonderful event!

Upon arriving we were greeted with the sounds of a Drum and Fife band and the scent of the vendor’s food cooking. My family and I greatly enjoyed strolling down Court Street and viewing the crafts and displays. Highlights of our day included: Berkshire Brewery’s specially brewed Harvest Ale, a horse drawn ride, historic costumes and Colonial music, the lovely luncheon and decor at Lydia’s and the real joy of seeing Downtown Westfield bustling with happy residents. Here is a short video I shot:

I am going to host a contest this year to have my readers guess what day they think the first snow will fall in Westfield, MA.

I will qualify “first snowfall” as the first time it lands and coats the ground or “sticks”.  Therefore, flurries that melt right off won’t count.

Participants need to put their guess for the date the first snow will fall in Westfield, MA in the comments below.  You cannot post the same date as someone ahead of you.

The winner will receive a $50 gift card for Ezra’s Mercantile on Elm Street in Westfield.

OK folks, get your guesses logged in!

UPDATE:
Well, no one won because the first snowfall of 2011 in Westfield, MA was on OCTOBER 28th! I was out showing houses in that mess and managed to fall on my face in front of new customers as I slipped while getting out of the car. The third and fourth house we looked at had no power and we all had trouble stopping at the end of a downhill driveway. I went home soaked and sore to hurry up and charge everything and get a fire going before my power went out. Good thing I did, since the power went out about an hour after getting home. Who woulda thunk it?!

New Restaurant on East Main Street, Westfield, MA

Five Guys Burgers & Fries Westfield, MAIf you are a resident or commuter in Westfield, MA, you have probably noticed the new building going up next to Blockbuster on East Main Street.

There is no signage up advertising what the building is going to be, so I inquired one day at the desk of Expert Fitness (right behind the building). I was told that the building is going to be a Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

Just thought I would share in case you were wondering, too!

Much of Southwick, MA inhabits what is known as “the jog” or “notch” in the Western border between Massachusetts and Connecticut. This border moved several times until Massachusetts claimed the area (known as the “jog”). A border dispute continued until 1804, when the current boundary was established through a compromise between Connecticut and Massachusetts. As a result of this border resolution, Southwick is the southernmost town in western Massachusetts. (from Wikipedia).

Southwick, MA is also my home town and I love helping people looking to buy a home or sell a home in Southwick. As I drive through the town and over the picturesque country roads, I get to share memories of my youth and how the town has grown.  Here are some photos I have taken around town:

There are many of us who play the “I remember Southwick when” game: I remember when The Summer House was Friendly’s, Jones Market, the original Roma Pizza, the miniature golf course where Big Y and Ocean State are now, no streetlights….what do you remember?

Southwick, MA has always been an attractive suburb of Springfield, MA and even Hartford, CT. The Congamond Lakes provide a wonderful recreational area and there are lots of terrific communities with all types of homes.
