'tis the season...
Plainfielders have a plethora of cultural and political opportunities this Sunday afternoon.

In the order of times they begin, here is the roster --

RALLY FOR BUONO & DEMS

Besides gubernatorial candidate Sen. Barbara Buono, those making appearances will be Sen. Nick Scutari, Assembly candidates Jerry Gree ad Linda Stender, Freeholders Linda Carter and Sergio Granada and Mayoral candidate Adrian O. Mapp.

The rally will feature music, food and T-shirts, as well as artists and others.
GHOST HUNTING AT DRAKE HOUSE
The Drake House Museum will host author L'Aura Hladik in a talk on ghost hunting at 2:00 PM.

Learn about the hot spots of ghost hunting in New Jersey and New York City based on the America's Haunted Road Trip series. Among the highlights: Proprietary House, the Spy House, Manhattan Bistro and more.

Seating in the Gallery is on a first-come basis (it will fill quickly), and light refreshments will be served after the talk.

The next, and last, opportunity to see and hear all the candidates will be at the League of Women Voters forum, Wednesday, October 30 at the Plainfield Public Library (oops! at Emerson Community School) at 7:00 PM.

"The rally will feature music, food and T-shirts".
Isn't that exactly what we're always getting on Sharon for – too many circuses with too much bread? I guess it must be OK if these rallies aimed at our so-called "low information" voters produce the right result, which is electing the candidates we like, as opposed to, say, Sharon.

Did the Dems take out the proper permits for the rally?
