1. Johnathan Cox, a Magic Valley base jumper, is aiming to set a World record with a jump from Perrine Bridge, right here in Twin Falls. The world record of 63 repeated jumps in 24 hours was set in 2017 and it was broken a just few months later with just one more repeated jump, at 64. Cox's goal is to make it to 65. (KMVT)
2. The inaugural Hispanic and American Indian Healthcare Conference is currently being hosted by the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs in Twin Falls. The two-day event, organized at the College of Southern Idaho, aims to address healthcare access for underserved minority groups, with a specific focus on the growing Hispanic and American Indian population in Idaho. Through various activities, the conference brings together key stakeholders to inform the uninsured population about available tools and services. (Idaho 6 News)
