Every first Thursday of the month until March, St. Patrick’s Grand Marshals will be on-site at four locations, standing in as celebrity bartenders to help serve drinks, as a special twist on Hackettstown's "Late Night Thursdays" for the winter months, with shops staying open late.
Starting March 1, 2017
“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” - Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
Well if rain is any indicator, March has indeed come in like a lion! But the forecast for both weekend days looks pretty good, and a little rain won't deter Warren County Wanderers from getting out there regardless - right? In any case, our Community Corner section has a lot of interesting offerings this week - including Lopatcong Middle School's Day of the Arts - so don't run out of steam before you scroll down there! We advise you to keep an eye on the Plan Ahead section, too, because we don't want you to be disappointed by a sell-out situation. In addition to the numerous live music options and a comedy night this weekend, some interesting things are happening in Hackettstown starting Thursday evening, and you still have a few more chances to catch "The Surrogate" at Centenary Stage; a wacky, comedic play that ends its run this weekend. All this and more! Happy Wanderings!
