Here are the top stories today in Essex-Chester-Deep River:

1. If you a devoted fan of Fox 61 News and anchor Jenn Bernstein, then you might be upset to learn that the 39-year-old anchor, who has been a mainstay with Fox 61 for the past nine years, will be leaving her post to reportedly, "try something new." According to a Patch article written by Brian McCready, Bernstein teased on LinkedIn, "I have a new opportunity on the horizon that I am very excited about and will announce that soon!" (Patch.com)
2. Save the date for Boobstock 2023! On Sept. 16, starting at 1 p.m. at the Sobeiski Club in Deep River, the festivities will begin. There will be live music from five bands, raffles, picnic included and a cash bar. Proceeds will go to breast cancer patients at Middlesex and Smilow's Cignari Boutique. Over the past 10 years Boobstock has raised and donated over $50,000. (Tri-Town Neighborhood Connections via Facebook)
