3 Rivers Roll is back in Wallaceburg tonight!

3 Rivers Roll is an hour long (13 km) bicycle route through Wallaceburg with a slow, relaxed pace. It’s not a race, it’s a slow roll through various neighbourhoods of the ‘burg. All bicycles, all ages, all abilities are welcome – bring your own music, decorate your bike and join in the fun! This year, each roll will have a theme.

They’re kicking off the summer with a health and wellness themed roll starting at the Wallaceburg Legion. Do some stretches with a gymnastics coach, yoga with a yoga instructor and enjoy some healthy foods before the bike. Stick around afterwards for some good music and great company!

The next 3 Rivers Roll ride is July 17th and August 15th.

A guy broke the Guinness World Record for most blueberries stuffed in your mouth.

The blueberries had to be intact at the end, and not smooshed, so it’s harder than it seems. And he almost gagged at the end. But he did it, with 124 blueberries. The previous record was 86.

Another record was set on the weekend; 633 people in scuba gear broke the record for largest number of people doing underwater cleanup on Saturday.

It happened near a pier in Boca Raton, and they pulled out 1,600 pounds of lead fishing weights alone. The previous record was 614 divers, in Egypt in 2015.
