1. Way to go, Manchester! Visitors and residents are invited to celebrate fall downtown on Oct. 28. Have a chance to meet Mayor Joyce Craig at City Hall, get a free book from the Bookmobile, and stroll down Elm Street, where downtown businesses are welcoming trick-or-treaters. Then head to Stanton Plaza, where there will be kid's games, pumpkin carving and more. (Manchester Ink Link)

Several vehicles were involved and I-293 North was closed at Exit 4 until 9 p.m., according to authorities. (Subscription/The Union Leader)
