Good morning, Brookfield. It is Friday, October 30, and the town is heading into a Halloween weekend that is also the final weekend of early voting. Here is what is happening.

**Vote before the candy.** Early voting runs Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Town Hall, Meeting Room 133 — and then it is over until Election Day. The Secretary of the State is calling it "Stickers Before Snickers," and more than 349,000 Connecticut voters have already cast ballots through all methods. Read the final-weekend details in [Early Voting's Final Weekend](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/early-voting-final-weekend-october-30/) and the latest statewide totals in [Early Voting by the Numbers: October 28](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/early-voting-by-the-numbers-october-28/).

**A sunny, frosty Halloween.** Friday brings sunshine and 68 degrees, but Halloween night turns cold, with widespread frost and a low near 29 Saturday night. Sunday starts frosty and turns mostly sunny at 61\. See the full outlook in [Sunny Friday, Frosty Halloween Weekend](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/sunny-friday-frosty-halloween-weekend/).

**Monday is packed at Town Hall.** The Board of Selectmen meets at 7 p.m., waterline assessment bills are due, state heating assistance deliveries begin, and it is the last day to request an absentee ballot. Details in [Monday at Town Hall](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/monday-november-2-selectmen-deadlines/).

**On the roads and on the field.** Roadway repairs start Monday on Route 7 in New Milford ([Route 7 Road Work in New Milford Starts Monday](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/route-7-new-milford-road-work-november-2/)), New Milford is putting cameras on school buses to catch illegal passing ([New Milford Adds Cameras to Catch Drivers Who Pass Stopped School Buses](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/new-milford-school-bus-cameras/)), and both Brookfield High School soccer teams are positioned for the state tournament as the regular season closes Monday ([Bobcats Soccer Heads Toward the Postseason](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/bobcats-soccer-postseason-watch/)). The Brookfield Lacrosse Club holds fall clinics at Cadigan Park on November 7 ([Lacrosse Fall Clinics at Cadigan Park](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/lacrosse-fall-clinics-november-7/)).

**Set the clocks back.** Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday — turn clocks back one hour before bed Saturday night ([Clocks Fall Back Sunday](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/clocks-fall-back-november-1/)).

**Looking ahead to December.** Santa's annual ride is changing shape: the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company's Candy Cane Express returns December 5 with Santa traveling to designated stops around town instead of individual homes ([Santa Rides a New Route](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/candy-cane-express-december-5/)).

And tonight, the Brookfield High School football team hosts Stratford High School at 6:30 p.m. at Brookfield High School — the preview ran earlier this week ([Friday Night Football: Stratford Preview](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/friday-night-football-stratford-preview/)).

If you have already voted early, or you are waiting for Tuesday, keep the conversation going in the [Forum](https://www.brookfieldcurrent.com/forum/) — what decided your vote this year?
