Mike Moore, media, the first place to hear Rockingham County news and information. News is sponsored by Lane's Family Pharmacy and Home Health Care, a water rescue Sunday at Madison River Park. According to the Madison Rockingham Rescue Squad, Ryan Clark, a rescue technician, was at the park with his family when he heard screams for help. He located someone floating unresponsive in the Dan River, pulled him from the water and started CPR, reviving the individual before rescue units arrived. The patient was transported by EMS to a local hospital. A rescue squad spokesperson reminds everyone to always wear a personal flotation device when near and on a river or lake. The waters look refreshing, especially on a hot summer day, but can be dangerous. An accident at Eden flea market on NC-14 on a busy Saturday morning, Thomas Hankins drove his Dodge truck into the front of the business, knocking down a wall and traveling about fifty feet inside the building, missing shoppers and vendors, but leaving a trail of busted cinder blocks. There's a video on our Facebook page, Hankins, 71 of Eden was injured, incited for careless and reckless operation, and completed a DMV review.

You can read the latest issue every month online at edenzone.com. Welcome to July 8th on the National Day Calendar. Today, we're picking some sweet treats and cooling off with a frozen favorite. National Raspberry Day is a celebration of these delicious and nutritious berries. Raspberries are not only tasty but packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Did you know that there are over 200 varieties of raspberries? These berries can be red, black, purple, or even golden. Whether you enjoy them fresh, in a dessert, or as a jam, raspberries add a burst of flavor and color to any dish. So if the red, black, purple, or gold when I eat raspberries, slushies, how come my tongue is blue? I do love blue raspberries as well. Golden, shut up. Yeah, we'll have to find those I think. Yes. From fresh berries to icy delights, it's also a national freezer pop day. Freezer pops or ice pops have been a summertime staple for decades. The largest ice pop ever made weighed over 20,000 pounds and was created in California in 2005. These frozen treats come in a variety of flavors and colors, making them perfect for cooling down on a hot summer day. Whether you enjoy them by the pool or after a long day outside, freezer pops are a refreshing way to feed the heat. Freezer pops was my jam growing up. Did you have 20,000 pounds on your freezer? Probably not that much. Can you imagine? That's crazy. I wonder if it was blue for raspberries. That was one of my favorite flavors too. Everybody had blue tongues tasting that 20,000 pound ice pop. We should get some just because it's raspberry day and freezer pop day and it's hot outside. Oh, I love that idea. Let's go do that. I'm LaToya Johnson. Hi, I'm Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day. And get on over to Facebook and Instagram and follow us at Destination Celebration Show. Until next time, keep celebrating. Now let's see who's celebrating on today's birthday birthday club. Here we go. All right, always starting the week on Monday with Sunday and Monday, birthday. So that would be the 7th and 8th. But first, a couple of names and I left off for July 4th. How did I do that?

So back to the 4th for Ellen Crowder and Lisa Brown, Ellen Crowder and Lisa Brown.
