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:

When Will It Snow in Westfield, MA? Contest!

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!

Mama Cakes: Yummy Must-Try Bakery in Westfield, MA

Mama Cakes Cupcakes

Why, oh why, did Mama Cakes have to open up across the street from my office at Park Square Realty in Westfield and then go and create the most irresistible gourmet confections?

How am I supposed to lose weight with those scrumptious morsels calling me from across the street?

In all seriousness, this new bakery is not only adorable, but hosted by a friendly owner and her family and offers some unique taste treats. I stood and debated for awhile between the Pumpkin and Lemon cupcakes. Lemon won out for that day, but I will have to return to try the Pumpkin, or whatever other delicious thing tempts me!

I took a few pictures to torture you until you can make a visit to Mama Cakes yourself:

Mama Cakes is on Elm Street in Westfield, across the street from Park Square Realty and the recently opened Ezra’s Mercantile.

Give me a shout out before you get there and I will treat you to a cupcake!

Updated to add: they are taking pie orders for the holidays and are baking bread now, too.  PS. the lemon, pumpkin and apple are THE BEST!
