The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer & NJ native is bringing his band to the return of the largest summertime hot air balloon and music festival on the continent.

Planning for outdoor concerts and the Festival of Ballooning continue in hopes that capacities will be lifted as the state's vaccination goal is met.

Earlier this week we showcased a man trying to teach his cowardly neighbor a lesson on neighborliness.

This person messed with the WRONG neighbor.

The weapon and magazine were found out in the open when police stopped the car on Sunday afternoon in Branchburg, officials said.

"How irresponsible would it be to bring in 150,000 plus people who might be responsible for a spread?"

The problem of hunger in New Jersey is usually magnified in the summertime, but this year the COVID-19 pandemic has tightened families' wallets even further.

The festival will still include vendors, fireworks, 5K race and concerts and hot air balloons taking flight twice a day.

The 2020 festival is scheduled for July 24-26 at Solberg Airport in Readington.

Founder Howard Freeman had established a deadline of January 31 to sign a title sponsorship to continue the 27-year-old festival.
