All weekend: Travel to Hawaii (figuratively, of course) through "Kulanihako'i: Living Waters" at Peak Performances in Montclair ($15). Also, the mother of all north Jersey craft markets returns to the Morristown Armory.
Friday and Saturday: The famous Clinton Haunted Mill is back open for business. The place did appear on an episode of Ghost Hunters, so it's a good spot if you like that sort of thing. Newark Bears are hosting something called Stadium of Screams every weekend this month.
Saturday and Sunday: It's here at last! The Last Fling Pumpkin Sling is all the nerdy goodness you could ever want. Check it out 9 am - 6 pm ($5/$3). Nerds who love a bargain should see what's for sale at the Playwright's Theatre of NJ Rummage Sale, from 9 am - 2 pm.
Saturday only: It's Pumpkin Patch Day at the Liberty Hall Museum in Union. They are charging $10 for adults and $6 for children (pumpkins not included), so something pretty special must be (better be) going on there. Morris County School of Technology has a similar thing going on with their Spooktacular Fun Fest in Denville, with a similar pricing scheme. For the grownup Book Nerds, The Raconteur in Metuchen hosts former High Times editor Mike Edison, reading from Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! "his wild and uncompromising history of four infamous magazines and the outlaws behind them." (This event is FREE.) There's also a Rummage Sale/Flea Market in Maplewood.
Sunday only: Crafty Nerds find their kinsmen (and -women) at the Teaneck Creek Conservancy EcoArt Day and Craft Fair, 11 am - 4 pm. The Morris K9 Campus hosts its Fall Festival; dogs welcome.
Heads up for the week ahead: On Thursday, former NJ Governor Richard Codey will speak, answer questions and sign copies of his book at FDU in Florham. It's free, but register if you're interested by contacting fdualumni (at) fdu (dot) edu.
