Philharmonic Music in the Streets: It has been months since the NY Philharmonic had to close the doors to its famous Lincoln Center concert hall, as the coronavirus pandemic started to take hold of the city. For the musicians their life is making music. They have been completely cut off from being able to give their gift to people. So ,for now, the solution is a rented pickup truck dubbed the "Bandwagon". It travels New York's five boroughs each weekend with a sound system, support staff and a handful of musicians in tow. If the people can't come to Lincoln Center, the Philharmonic will bring the music to the people. Locations aren't announced ahead of time, in an effort to keep crowd size low and social distancing possible and the concerts are kept short: 15 minutes at most, to keep large crowds from gathering.

Sunflowers and Smiles! Everyone could use a little sunshine in their life right now, so Wisconsin farmer Scott Thompson’s family decided that's what they were going to do. They planted more than 2 million sunflowers in their fields along with a field of zinnias, a field of wildflowers, and Mexican sunflowers that are known for attracting butterflies. This is the first time in more than 70 years that flowers are decorating the landscape. Usually, the pick-your-own farm consists of strawberries in the summer and raspberries and pumpkins in the fall. The Thompson Strawberry Farm located in Bristol, WI is drawing people to a simpler family outing where they can picnic, wander fields of florals and take home a dozen sunflowers.

How It Works: Each month, join us for a fun walk with a doctor from the Chilton Medical Center community. For the first few minutes, the doctor will give a brief presentation on an important health topic. Then, for the remainder of the hour, participants will go for a walk together. The doctor will walk with you too! Call for preregistration. Walk-ins welcome!

Golden Retriever Comforts Firefighters: Kerith, a certified crisis response therapy dog, offers comfort & support to firefighters in California. The 2-year-old golden retrieve meets firefighters daily at the wildfire base camp in Marin County, calming them & putting smiles on their faces during & after their morning briefings. The firefighters are tasked with things that push their limits & having something like a dog brings some of type of normalcy back into their lives. All these abnormal events get really tiring so having that comfort is therapeutic. Kerith’s handler, Heidi Carman, says that the pup helps the firefighters "by just letting them be with her, & they don’t have to say anything.” She continued, “They’ve told me that Kerith makes them feel ‘important, loved & special.” The firefighters say “These fires are getting longer & we’re spending more time away from our families, a golden retriever, one of the happiest things in the world, just reminds you of home.”
