β˜€οΈ Fourth of July heat

I left for lunch today and it pretty much reminded me why I don't do that -- because it's hot. Like, really hot. I broke a sweat walking to my car in the parking lot outside the News 6 studio, for goodness sake. The heat index is up to 105 Tuesday, so try to stay cool. The good news is, the forecast for Fireworks at the Fountain Thursday is looking pretty good. Get the full forecast beforeΒ makingΒ your holiday plans.


πŸŽ† Happy, healthy holiday

The Fourth of July -- for people who don't work in news -- probably involves grilling, some swimming, maybe a few drinks and a whole lot of patriotism. That all sounds great,Β but you should also remember it's really hot and can get very loud. Keep you and your crew safe while celebrating with these tips to a happy and healthy holiday.


🍴 Fourth of July freebie

Everyone loves free stuff and food, and they especially love free food. If you know any members of the military, veterans or first responders, let them know they can enjoy a free sandwich at 4 Rivers Smokehouse Thursday in celebration of Independence Day. After you tell them about the dealΒ thank them for their service for me.Β Get the details on the offer and share it.
