Our friend over at Star Beat does a lot of work at Hell’s Kitchen in Newark. There is an event coming up this Saturday that I fully support you going to. I’m probably going to throw more events at you in the future, because what are friends for?
On Saturday, June 23rd Hell’s Kitchen Lounge hosts its 2nd annual
Woofstock event to directly benefit the Newark NJ Animal Shelter. It also
marks Hell’s Kitchen Lounge’s 5 year anniversary. Woofstock is an all day
block party (on Bruen St. btw Lafayette and Green St.) that features 15
Bands, 4 Djs, Food, Vendors and a chance to meet your next canine
companion. The free, outdoor portion will kick things off at 1pm till 9pm
when they close down the street. The inside portion begins at 8pm inside
Hell’s Kitchen Lounge where 5 bands will perform for a $5 cover. The
block party is family and pet friendly with hopes to attract animal lovers
from all areas.
A group of volunteers better known as “Friends of Newark NJ Animal
Shelter” regularly donate their time and effort to show these poor,
unwanted dogs a little love by taking them out for walks, donating food
and most importantly finding them homes. Hell’s Kitchen Lounge in
partnership with the “Friends of Newark NJ Animal Shelter” adopted 8
dogs and raised over $1500 at last years event with hopes to double that
this year. Visitors can come and meet up to 15 dogs between the hours
of 1-4pm where Volunteer handlers will let you interact with our furry
friends. Guests can also make food, toy and monetary donations to
directly support the shelter. Anyone looking to volunteer to be a handler
can send an email to woofup12@gmail.com for information.
Woostock lineup includes 15 Bands and 4 Djs that are donating their
talent for the cause, as well as sponsors who help make this event
happen.
