• Apple Picking Near Hackettstown: 3 Orchards To Visit (patch.com) — Families in Hackettstown looking for a fall outing have three nearby orchards to consider for pick-your-own apples, each with different hours, prices, and varieties. Ort Farms in Long Valley, Mackey's Orchard in Belvidere, and Race Farm in Blairstown all encourage visitors to check social media or call ahead because crop availability and picking conditions can change quickly.
• Get Ready for a Spook-Tacular Saturday: Hackettstown Announces Full Day of Halloween Festivities for Oct. 31 (tapinto.net) — Hackettstown is planning a full slate of Halloween fun on Saturday, Oct. 31, with a costume parade from Centenary University to the Gazebo, downtown trick-or-treating, and dual Trunk-or-Treat spots. Families can then continue neighborhood trick-or-treating townwide from 3 to 8 p.m., making it easy to plan a full day of festivities close to home.
• Mosquito spraying scheduled Thursday night in 2 Warren County communities (wrnjradio.com) — Mosquito control officials report that Hackettstown has two mosquito samples testing positive for West Nile virus, as Warren County prepares targeted spraying in nearby Hardwick and Independence. While no spraying is scheduled directly in Hackettstown yet, residents should be aware of elevated virus activity locally and can check the county mosquito commission for prevention tips, treatment updates, and future spraying plans.
