Dave Popkin joins us this morning to talk about Rock Hunger VIII coming in June to Nutley.

It's a community-wide event with lots of great local bands joining together to help feed people and promote local awareness.

It's Terrie Carr and I'm excited to introduce you to Raina from Northstar Pet Rescue On Rock N' Ruff this week. She is such and EPIC, SWEET dog. Raina is a Chihuahua mix, and has a super sweet disposition- she is a gentle, affectionate, velcro dog (sticking by your side) who LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the company of other dogs and comes to life playing and socializing when she meets them. Raina is a gem!

Raina survived "Distemper" a disease that can be deadly for dogs, which makes her extra special and is sure to win your heart with her fun nature and gentle gaze. She also LOVES chasing balls and playing with toys. She also loves socks (off your feet) so hide your faves! Raina would love to call her own and this beautiful, sweet girl truly deserves it. To adopt Raina, please reach out to Northstar Pet Rescue at https://www.northstarpets.org/dogs/
