Pet-o-Rama: Paco PLUS Upcoming Shelter EventsWeek of September 7th 2026The Marx Brothers might say "Why a Duck?" We say, "Why not?" So have a look at Paco, this week's Pet of the Week at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. Paco was surrendered to the shelter in mid-July. In his prior home, he lived in harmony with a chicken, and our staff notes that he is a very human-oriented, social duck. If you've never had a duck before, they are quite similar to chickens—except they waddle, wiggle, and quack! For more info, and to find out about upcoming Shelter events, read the full post, listen to Pet-O-Rama at 11am Thursdays here on the pig or visit the shelter, located at 1001 Rodriguez St. in Santa Cruz and open from 11am to 6pm every day. 
Queenie's Quickie's - The Sam Chase, Tommy Castro, Jackson Emmer AND MORESeptember 4th 2026As always, LOTS of great live music options this weekend all over the place here, up north and down south. It's also sorta the "official/unofficial end of summer," so there's lots going on. Highlights include The Sam Chase tonight at Moe's Alley and Tommy Castro (also at Moe's) on Sunday afternoon. See the full post for details.
