"When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween." - Unknown
BOO! Today's the day, for the kids to dress up and collect their treats, and there are still a few Halloween events for the grownups, too. Looking ahead to the weekend, we've got some great concerts in store, the New Jersey Ballet's annual weekend at Centenary Stage Company, a farm-to-table dinner, a vendor fair, some history events, and remember to check out our Fall Farm Fun guide for pumpkins, corn mazes and more! Be sure to take some time to relax, unlike these spooky carpet delivery guys slaving under a ghoulish supervisor, as seen in front of Yeager's Floor Covering in Lopatcong. And remember to "fall back" and reset your clocks this Saturday night. Happy Halloween, and Happy Wanderings!
