Folks looking to start 2026 on the right foot are invited to James H. “Sloppy” Floyd State Park for the park’s annual First Day Hikes on Thursday, January 1, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Time is critical for patients this December, and the American Red Cross is urging donors to make an appointment to give blood now to help keep the blood supply stable during the busy holiday season. The Red Cross says O positive, O negative, and B negative blood types are especially needed now and in the coming weeks.
Blood Assurance is urging O-positive blood donors to give as soon as possible, citing an emergency need after a recent spike in trauma cases that required large amounts of O-positive units.
