Ocean City Girls Weekend, Garden State Film Fest, Comic Con

Happy April, from the world's biggest April fool!

The month of April gets off to a busy start, as you'll see in the Lite Rock South Jersey Weekend Happenings.

Here is a special event we would like you to consider. This Saturday is Bubbles 4 Autism Day 2017, started in 2004 by a Ventnor mom whose 4-year-old son Kyle had autism. Now, Kyle is 18 and Bubbles 4 Autism is recognized all over the world.

Join Lite Rock 96.9 WFPG from 10a-2p this Saturday at the Egg Harbor Township's Autism Safety Day, at the EHT Community Center, 5045 English Creek Road. Kid-friendly fun includes police and fire trucks to explore, carnival games, Magician Chad Juros and the bubble blowing event at 1pm.
