Greater Morristown always does Halloween proud.
From the town hall lawn to businesses near the Green, South Street was the place to be for trick-or-treating boys and ghouls (and their costumed parents) on Friday afternoon, courtesy of the town recreation department and the Morristown Partnership.
On Friday night, the Folk Project featured a reading by the Bride of Frankenstein and the Star Trek theme on sax (R.I.P., Admiral Picard, a.k.a. Patrick Stewart, and Chekov, a.k.a. Walter Koenig.)
