New Music From Carrie Underwood and How You Can Help the New Hampshire Food Bank
Have you heard the brand-new single "Something in the Water?" It's the first release off Carrie's new album due out in December. We played it a few times during the Big Morning Broadcast today.
It was nice to hear fresh music from the soon-to-be-mom. If you want to know how Carrie keeps in killer shape, I suggest you read this article. It makes me want to run to the gym, but I'll probably just stroll home and eat cake.
If you have Facebook, we urge you to take one minute and help our friends at the New Hampshire Food Bank.
They need every vote they can get. September is "Hunger Action Month," and you can vote once a day. Please hurry, because voting ends October 5th. Cast your vote at "Fight Hunger and Spark Change."
Weather
More clouds than sun and 75, but cooling down during the afternoon. Mostly cloudy in the North Country with a chance of a shower and 68.
