"You're doomed! You're all doomed!" - Crazy Ralph in Friday the 13th
You'll forgive us if we get a little crazy like Ralph at this time of the year, but whenever the 13th of the month lands on a Friday, strange things happen in one corner of Warren County. That's right, we celebrate the horror movie Friday the 13th, filmed right here. Read all about it and see what's in store if you dare to head here this Friday. Meanwhile, a new event makes its debut on Saturday - the first-ever Phillipsburg Pork Roll Palooza - and we've got all sorts of other fun in store for you. Happy Wanderings!
