Did Ryan Seacrest Have a Stroke?

Samantha “Just Sam” Diaz was crowned American Idol’s winner Sunday night, but on Monday, everyone was talking about host Ryan Seacrest.

The 45-year-old frightened viewers when he appeared to be slurring his words, and his right eye appeared larger than his left. Fans took to social media, concerned that Seacrest had a neurological episode. He also absented himself from Live With Kelly and Ryan Monday morning, prompting more concern. So much so, his rep spoke to People.

The rep said: “Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night. Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.”

The rep added: “Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he’s in need of rest. So today he took a well-deserved day off.”

Seacrest is expected back on Live With Kelly and Ryan this week.

A 9 Year Old Girl from the Mount Washington Valley has created a “Birthday Program” for Merriman House Residents at Memorial Hospital

Brittney Bossidy is only 9 years old and when the coronavirus pandemic started Brittney took it upon herself to reach out to Memorial Hospital, because she wanted to make sure that the residents at their nursing home, The Merriman House, were being recognized on their birthdays since they couldn’t have any visitors. Brittney arranged a “Birthday Program” where she and her family are making flower arrangements and cards for residents to celebrate their birthdays. She’s even reached out to Ruthies Flower Shop and Shaw’s Supermarket and they have donated the flowers and vases.  Brittney is definitely a go-getter and her parents, Sherri and Eric, couldn’t be more proud. She’s already made 6 deliveries!

The Jericho ATV Festival is Cancelled Due to COVID-19 Concern

This year’s Jericho ATV Festival, which was set to take place July 31st – August 1st is cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. Read the full statement below;

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and after consultation with various stakeholders, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that the Jericho ATV Festival Committee has made the decision to cancel the 2020 festival.  The timing of the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak has contributed to significant challenges in planning the Festival as many vendors and manufacturers are dealing with the same uncertainty, with a number of vendors having already cancelled, with more anticipated to follow suit. 

In addition to creating challenges in the planning of the festival, the potential for fewer vendors and manufacturers would greatly diminish the festival experience for festival attendees, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and manufacturers.  In addition to these risks, the risk of a failed Jericho ATV Festival in 2020 would jeopardize the Committee’s ability to host future festivals. 

With all these factors in mind, the Committee made the decision to cancel the 2020 Festival.  We thank you in advance for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2021 Jericho ATV Festival on July 30th & 31st!
