Fall is in full swing as we enjoy the last burst of brilliance from the trees that dot our neighborhoods and mountainsides and with the end of daylight saving time you may be feeling like it’s time to put on your pajamas as soon as the sun sets but you’d be missing out on a lot of fun events happening all over the township.
