The Weekend Ahead: A Halloween Food Truck Festival in Sewell, a Library Jewelry Sale and a Swedesboro Cemetery Tour

Good morning, Gloucester County. It's a light weekend on the calendar, and Saturday carries it: a Halloween-themed food truck festival at Washington Lake Park in Sewell, with trick-or-treating at the trucks, a costume contest and live music. Around it, a costume jewelry sale that benefits the library, a couple of drop-in library programs, and a look at the Halloween week ahead, including an evening cemetery tour in Swedesboro.
