Wellesley-Weston Chabad hosted its annual Purim Party last Sunday at the Wellesley Community Center. The all-ages event had a Candy Land theme. The event featured a Megillah reading, a live band, a caricaturist, a clown, face painting, Sandy Candy Art dinner and open bar, Candy Land desserts and a chocolate fountain. People came from near and far to enjoy the celebration.
