The weather is supposed to remain mild for the next several days, so why not go for a scenic hike? Afterward (or if you prefer to stay indoors in the first place), Centenary Stage Company brings three productions to town this weekend - including two from the NJ Ballet - and much more to follow in the coming weeks. Rutherfurd Hall is also hopping with a variety of upcoming programs, including a Downton Abbey Holiday Luncheon! Community Corner is back, and we also provide some ideas to plan ahead for next weekend. As always, Happy Wanderings!
