    October 5, 2010, Livingston, NJ – Livingston Homecoming Weekend, October 15-17 is just around the corner with proceeds to benefit educational initiatives of the Livingston Public Schools and the Youth of Livingston! The Homecoming Weekend is an opportunity to celebrate education and wellness and is made possible through the collaborative efforts and combined talents of many individuals and groups.
