The Weekend Ahead: Flemington's Stangl Witch Walk, Trick-or-Treat on Broad Street and a Day of the Dead Altar in Lambertville

Good morning, Hunterdon County.

Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, and the county is making a weekend of it. Flemington's fifth annual Stangl Witch Walk & Moon Market takes over Stangl Road tonight, Clinton's historic preservation commission leads an evening cemetery tour, and Flemington closes parts of Broad and Bonnell streets Saturday evening for trick-or-treating. On Sunday, Lambertville's library invites everyone to add to a Day of the Dead community altar. One more thing: clocks fall back an hour early Sunday morning. Here's the weekend.
