Luke Frey, Associate Director of Communication for the Better Business Bureau Serving Connecticut, joins Brad to discuss the increase in puppy scams!

Laura Soll, Board Member of the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank, joined Brad to talk about how the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank is appreciative to Windsor resident George Saponare for opening his amazing holiday-decorated home to the public during three December weekends - AND to the scores of people who visited, bringing donations of food and funds. This generous effort generated 625 pounds of nonperishable food and over $1,500 in funds for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank. What a wonderful holiday gesture of goodwill by all! Thanks to all of you who helped to make it a success.
