Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend schedule has been posted, and the schedule is jam-packed with fun that includes the Annual Veterans’ Parade on Sunday, May 22 at 1pm (Gordon Martin will serve as Grand Marshal in appreciation of his 37 years of service to the Town of Wellesley, most recently as the Superintendent of the Recycling and Disposal facility) and will be capped off on Sunday night with what’s being billed as the biggest fireworks display ever. Make some time to attend as many of the activities as you can.
