Fair Lawn, Saddle Brook to Reschedule Halloween for Monday
Both communities have postponed Halloween and plan to reschedule it on Monday, Nov. 5.
On the heels of an announcement by Gov. Chris Christie Tuesday night that he would sign an executive order rescheduling Halloween, Fair Lawn decided Wednesday morning to postpone the holiday after all and select a new date.
Deputy Mayor John Cosgrove said the council took a unanimous vote Wednesday to reschedule Halloween on whatever day the state picks.
"There are just too many downed wires and everything else," he said.
