This weekend's most interesting options are as diverse as jazz and the rodeo; as cleaning up the bay and playing chess; as the return of rockers Skid Row and the Quiet Festival.  That's diversity! You will see details about all and more featured here.

Let me also suggest helping with Lite Rock's Holiday Food Drive this Saturday from 10a-noon at The English Creek ShopRite.

When you donate this Saturday, you can enter to win dinner and tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra live at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Saturday, Dec.17.

The Holiday Food drive benefits the Community Food Bank of New Jersey Southern Branch in Egg Harbor Township.

It is that time again! Won’t you please help us with the Lite Rock Holiday Food Drive?
Meet up with Gary Guida Saturday and make a food donation to help with our good cause.
