BY APRIL GOODWIN COURIER CORRESPONDENT WINCHENDON — Cookies, chocolates, gummies, cupcakes, and sweet treats galore dazzled the excited eyes of girls and boys visiting Willy Wonka’s Candy Wonderland. Willy Wonka himself stopped by town and transformed the Winchendon Historic and Cultural Center into a kid’s sugarcoated dream last Sunday afternoon. The event, while bringing in money to go towards the Center, also brought many smiles to local children’s faces. For the past seven years, members of the Center, which supports the Murdock Whitney House museum and now the Isaac Morse house, hold an annual event for children with a fun, unique theme that makes for a memorable afternoon for the kids while also raising a little extra money to help out the Center. Members dedi- cate a lot of time to planning, and then hosting, these themed events; every event proves their hard work a success. This year, Willy Wonka led the kids through a series of games, riddles, activities, and, of course, candy. Members had baked cook- ies and mini cupcakes, set up teacups of candy, decorated the front portico to be a true candy paradise, and set up a variety of games and activities for the children to enjoy. From beanbag toss, to bowling, from cookie decorating to “Willy Says,” there was something for everyone. Every child won a toy prize and could eat as much candy Eliana Leighton age 4 going for a cupcake and treats as their heart desired. With thanks to Kevin Papierski of Cambridge for being Willy Wonka for an afternoon, and all the hard-working mem- bers of the Winchendon Historic and Cultural Center, the event was a huge success among children and parents alike. Everyone is excit- ed to see what next year’s theme will be! Chloe Lynn Boudreau shows off her booty from the party.
