This Week in Easton, November 19 to 22

This is a short work week for most folks, but that's definitely not the only thing to be thankful for. Several Easton traditions happen this week, including the annual pre-game bonfire, the 106th Easton Rovers versus the Phillipsburg Stateliners Thanksgiving Day game, and, looking ahead, the lighting of the newly refurbished Easton Peace Candle on Black Friday! Take your pick of events--we'll see you there!
