Dear Readers,
We don’t often get a chance to meet you in person, but on Sunday we will be at the Needham Harvest Fair and we hope you’ll stop by our booth to say hello – and test your knowledge of Needham news! We’ll have a quiz for both adults and kids. And we’ll be giving out special coupons for Abbott’s Frozen Custard. We look forward to seeing you at Greene’s Field between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
