🤩 Wallingford Rocks in Mid-February🤩
Comedy, Taylor Swift, Meditation, Trivia and Much More
Hello, Wallingford Friends! 👋
We’ve made it through the middle of February and so far it’s been a doozy! For those who love baseball like me, it’s always encouraging to hear that pitchers and catcher have reported to Spring Training. For me, that means March and warmer weather is just a few weeks away. In the meantime, I hope you’re enjoying the Wallingford Wrap. Don’t forget to submit your event listings here and respond to this email with any Wallingford photos that you would like us to feature. As always, make sure you have subscribed and tell all your friends to as well!
