PRINCETON — Crews in downtown Princeton are putting the finishing touches on Saturday’s AutumnFest celebrations.

Robert Farley, executive director of the Princeton-Mercer County Chamber of Commerce, said crews have been out all day and working to set up the festival, despite the rain.

“We have a lot of food vendors set up for tomorrow,” Farley said. “We have about 75 vendors signed up for the event, which is the largest we have ever had. The classic car show and carnival rides will be back as well.”
