• Centenary Stage Company's Young Audience Series presents "Grace for President" (newjerseystage.com) — Hackettstown is among several Warren County communities where mosquito samples have tested positive for West Nile virus, with countywide positives running far above the long‑term average. Local residents are urged to dump standing water, use effective repellents, avoid peak mosquito hours, and report neglected pools as county crews step up larval control and spraying in affected areas.
• Spring freeze gutted N.J.'s apple crop. Here's where you can still pick your own apples this fall. (nj.com subscription) — Hackettstown's Donaldson Farms has canceled pick‑your‑own apples for fall 2026 after a devastating spring freeze, though pumpkins, hayrides, a corn maze, and the farm market remain open. The piece also surveys orchards statewide, noting which farms have lost their apple crops, which offer limited picking, and where families can still find a more typical apple‑picking experience this season.
