Thousands Celebrate the Season at MetroWest’s 8th Annual WinterFest

For the eighth year in a row, MetroWest Master Association (MWMA) welcomed thousands of attendees to the free annual WinterFest held on Dec. 21 from 4 to 9 p.m. at the MetroWest Golf Club. WinterFest 2019 began with Santa and Buzz Lightyear parachuting in, much to the delight of children in attendance.

MetroWest WinterFest 2019 benefited Edgewood Children’s Ranch, a nonprofit, residential program that helps boys and girls ages 6-17 address and overcome behavioral issues in a positive, safe environment. Every year, MetroWest communities and businesses compete in the MetroWest WinterFest Charity Challenge by collecting dry goods, sporting equipment, gift cards and more for the Ranch. Fairwinds Credit Union was the winner of the 2019 Charity Challenge prize of $200, which Fairwinds then donated to Edgewood Children’s Ranch.

WinterFest also featured a check presentation from MWMA to MetroWest Elementary School and Westpointe Elementary School, with each school receiving $2,500.

• The hit movie “Toy Story 4” shown on a big screen on the MetroWest Golf green
