Wellesley Wonderful Weekend Continues Sunday

WELLESLEY, MA — Maybe an argument can be made that Wellesley's Wonderful Weekend is so nice that they had to give it a second weekend. Actually, it's the rain that caused the annual town celebration to move their parade and fireworks to a new day, which is coming up soon.
