TOMS RIVER, NJ — It's almost here. Lawns are decorated, costumes are picked out, and kids are giddy at the thought of candy. Lots and lots of candy.

“This was a joint decision made by the township, the Toms River fire companies and the Toms River Police Department," Mayor Thomas H. Kelaher said. "We want children to be able to come to the parade with their families but still enjoy the time honored tradition of trick-or-treating.”
