With a slew of ghoulish and sweater weather themed events taking place, this weekend screams “spooky season” for all to hear. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to celebrate Mean Girls Day… what day is that, you ask? It’s October 3rd.

The town of Warner made headlines this summer that no town wants. The town administrator sought a restraining order against a selectman for alleged assault.
