Football fan or not, there's plenty to do in Warren County this weekend, as well notable events to
Plan Ahead for. And if you're hosting or attending a Super Bowl party, why not try out some
dip recipes, get inspired by a
chili competition, or order trays from
Marianna's? And it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day, with some
wineries and
restaurants getting a jump on the festivities this weekend. Whatever you decide, the weather looks to be mild this weekend (Saturday's a good day for a nice
hike), so get out there, enjoy, and Happy Wanderings!

Guy Davis with special guest Fabrizzio Poggi - Saturday, February 6 at 8pm -
SITNIK THEATER of the Lackland Center
715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown
"Davis' folksy and humble stage presence, combined with his humorous monologues, made one feel that this was not a concert, but rather, an imprompt performance on a front porch down in some southern swamp. Indeed, at times Davis had the audience singing, clapping and stomping their feet."

With special guest, director Nick Patrick.
"Ghost Waters" is the story of the 20+ year struggle that Warren and Sussex County residents faced in the midst of the looming Tocks Island Dam Project, a proposed dam and reservoir on the Delaware River which would have dramatically changed the PA, NJ, and NY region as we currently know it.
The film is a tribute to the locals who were affected, their sacrifices, homes lost, and their rigorous efforts to fight against damming the last major free flowing river east of the Mississippi.
