Summer is our favorite season to hit pause and reconnect with our family and friends. With school out and schedules a little looser, it’s the perfect time to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine!
The KL put together a list of the BEST things to do in Westford and surrounding cities.
Take a picture, post it, and tag us so we can see all the fun things you and your family do together!
