WINNER: Mother's Day Photo Contest

We've crowned our winner.

Thank you to all those who uploaded photos for our Mother's Day photo contest. It's never easy to choose just one photo as the winner of our $25 gift card. After much deliberation, we had to go with Elizabeth Spinney's photo of her mother at her brother's wedding.  "My mother survived breast cancer last year following a mastectomy, and recently she celebrated my brother's wedding. She worked so hard to find a dress that was both elegant and covered her scars--doesn't she look beautiful (and so happy)," Elizabeth wrote in the caption with her photo. Congratulations, Elizabeth. We'll be contacting you to make arrangements to get you your prize. Return to Patch tomorrow for our next photo contest: "cute" photos!

Remember Being 10?

The WHS spring play is geared toward a young audience.

Ten Westborough High School Center Stage Theatre Company members prepared for this weekend's show by sharing childhood memories. Of being 10, specifically. The characters in "The Hundred Dresses," based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning children's book, are all 10 years old, with a few adults as well, WHS Drama Director Anne Slotnick said. "We did a lot of talking about what they remember about being that age. It's new enough to them that they can tap into it really quickly," she said. The performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the high school auditorium. Tickets are $8, and free for ages 12 and under. "This play is aimed at younger audiences, so it's written to be seen by five to 12 year olds," Slotnick said. "…
