Good morning, Lynchburg.

Residents can expect a festive atmosphere at several local venues.

Don’t Fry Day reminds Lynchburg residents that UV rays harm skin year-round and one in five Americans develop skin cancer by 70 — dermatologist Jennifer Lucas advises using broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30, applying it 15 minutes before outdoors and reapplying every two hours, covering all exposed areas.

A Lynchburg artist is using his new exhibit to shine a light on men's mental health and open dialogue about wellness.

The show is on display today (inviting community members to engage with the work).
