Table of Contents

On Saturday the Winchester Farmers Market will offer more than fruits and vegetables—it’s Community Connect Day.  More than forty local non-profits will offer information about their organization, including the music school, Winchester ABC, and for the second time the Winchester News.  Isobel Magee is donating her entire proceeds from selling scones and cookies to Anna’s Fund which gives out $15 in tokens redeemable for food purchases to local residents in need.
