Everyone has memories of growing up in their hometown. It’s always nice to reminisce. Here are 10 of my memories of growing up in Weston, CT.

The only restaurant in Weston, CT. Serving amazing foods and drinks. You can go with your friends after school and enjoy a wide variety of your favorite foods.

3. Memorial Day Parade

An annual parade that brings the community together to celebrate memorial day.

The best time was the scholastic book fair in elementary school which gave kids an opportunity to buy amazing books and fun accessories for a reasonable price.

9. Friendships that last forever

Having only one school system you are with the same people since kindergarten, therefore, you have never-ending friendships.
