STC Fall Tree Giveaway
Abington's Shade Tree Commission gives away free trees for the fall planting season. No time or pickup spot is posted on the township calendar, so the details sit on the commission's tree giveaway page.
Witches of Narberth
Downtown turns into a costumed scavenger hunt, with kids tracking down witches stationed in the shops and collecting treats along the way. The hunt runs the afternoon and ends when the prizes run out.
