MEET DIZZY

His name is Dizzy, although he looks a lot like a fellow dinosaur of the purple variety. Dizzy doesn't have his own television show, but as the new mascot for the New River Health District, he will appear in the spotlight from time to time. Dizzy was on hand at the Science Museum of Western Virginia's opening of "Body Tech" over the weekend. "Body Tech," a new permanent exhibit, allows kids to participate in hands-on demonstrations of major medical topics. You'll also want to look for Dizzy in NewsFun. Each month Dizzy will bring you a health or safety tip. So if you see Dizzy around, say hello, just don't call him Barney.
