Janet Jackson, Veterans Day, ‘Our Town’ – Weekend Happenings

Janet Jackson brings her State of the World Tour to Boardwalk Hall on Friday, Nov 10.

Jackson's fans have been waiting a long time for this show, after the first date in June was postponed due to Janet's pregnancy. Tickets are still available for Friday's show.

A Lite Rock reminder that this Saturday is the second stop on Lite Rock's Holiday Food Drive 2017, benefiting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey Southern Branch. 

Every weekend until Thanksgiving, Lite Rock 96.9 WFPG will be stationed at a different ShopRite collecting non-perishable food or cash for the hungry and food insecure in South Jersey.

If you would like to start getting in the real spirit of the season, see Lite Rock's Gary Guida and make a donation between 10a-noon Saturday, Nov. 11 at the ShopRite of English Creek.
