The lawn chairs are already lined up along Main Street in Medford - it can only mean that the annual Medford-Vincentown Rotary Halloween Parade will be happening this Saturday night (10/27 at 7 p.m.) It's the 61st year for the parade, which features lots of floats and costumed kiddies.

There are actually all kinds of Halloween-related activities this year - more than ever if memory serves me. Mount Laurel is having a free Halloween Celebration and Parade at Laurel Acres Park on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 10 to Noon. It's sponsored by the Mount Laurel Municipal Alliance Against Substance Abuse, and apparently it's the first such event in the township.

The Springhouse development in Medford is having a costume party for dogs on Friday afternoon and the Gibson House is featuring a Haunted Halloween on Friday and Saturday night (at 7 p.m.)

And on Saturday, from 2 to 4 p.m., Shawnee High School will give out candy to trick or treaters - courtesy of the Medford police.

Let's hope the weather cooperates for the outdoor activities!
