Fall Is Good For Nerds

There's a slight chill in the air, school supplies on display, and water in the basement. What better time to embrace your nerdiness?

Friday, Sept 2
Festival Nerds rejoice--it's opening day for the Boonton Fireman's Carnival, the biggest thing to hit small-town carnivals since the Califon Fair, as well as the St. Bart's Italian Festival in Scotch Plains. Food Nerds and Nerds with Kids will also be pleased.
Music Nerds can see some FREE music in Madison outside the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, or in Clinton for their last evening of music of the summer.

Saturday, Sept 3
The Somerset Patriots are giving away FREE tickets to Saturday's game on a first come, first served basis to Sports Nerds who were flooded/de-electrified or otherwise significantly impacted by last weekend's tropical storm.
Nostalgia Nerds, Crafty Nerds or those just looking for something unusual can check out the Plowing Match between competitive teams of draft horses as the Howell Living History Farm in Titusville! BBQ, games for children of nerds, and crafts will also be available.
Saturday is also opening day at Stony Hill Farm Market in Chester, and the corn maze will--repeat, will--be open. No word on the availability of apple cider donuts.

Sunday, Sept 4
Festival Nerds and Multicultural Nerds can attend the Scandinavian Festival in Budd Lake, or one of the ongoing festivals mentioned above.
