How to Spend One Last Summer Weekend

In the spirit of most holiday weekends, there isn't much happening in Somerset County.

Blame it on the weather. Blame it on the hurricane cleanup. Or maybe it's just that many residents are heading to other parts of the state to enjoy their last beach weekend—since the beaches are back—of the summer.

But what do you do in Hillsborough when there are no events planned?

Here's what you need to know today:

1. You Need to Know:
The Hillsborough Polices’ drunk driving crackdown continues through this weekend. If you’re going to party, call a cab to get home.
2. You Need to Know: The township dump, located on Auten Road, is accepting branches and flood-damaged items today. It is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
3. You Need to Know: There are no fireworks on Monday. The field is too muddy to get the equipment out to set up.
4. You Need to Know: As of 4 p.m. Friday, the only township roads that remain closed are Montgomery Road between Amwell Road and Wertsville Road and River Road between Beekman Lane and Roycefield Road. Both are closed due to trees or power lines that are down.
5. You Need to Know: School starts Tuesday. No one wants to think about the end of summer, but you’ll want to get the kids ready for early hours now.
