Around Town With Jill
Happy Halloween Westfield! Jill Baker here to let you know about what’s happening in and around Westfield. Last week’s Downtown Halloween trick-or-treating, costume contest and parade on Sunday was a huge success and a great way to enjoy a beautiful fall day! One lesson I learned from my first year going, go early to avoid stores running out of candy for the little ones and walk if possible, as parking was a little tough. If you have a great event or tip you’d like me to mention, please send me an email at: westfieldjill@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Shopping, Sales and Tips for the Week:
There is so much to choose from when shopping and dining in beautiful Downtown Westfield and I am always able to find a great deal or two that I am happy to pass along to you : ) If you’re in town this weekend, stop by the adorable women’s boutique, Bella Chic, where you can pick a pumpkin and get a discount and City Sports is having a store closing sale going on until the end of the month! I also noticed sales going on at Chico’s, The Gap, Ann Taylor and many other stores and boutiques, so it’s definitely worth a visit to Downtown soon! And don’t forget, stores stay open late on Thursdays and enjoy free parking all day Sunday.
