COASTLIFE June 24th, 2026
This episode of CoastLife celebrates community, creativity, and summer traditions as we showcase patriotic fashions and accessories from Waterlily to help viewers get ready for Fourth of July festivities. We also meet Milton musician Red Hopkins, who spreads joy by playing guitar and harmonica for passersby while waiting around town, and Leah Rizzo and Charlie Sokaitis discuss the surprising discovery that whales communicate using regional "accents." John Tucker from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware joins the show to highlight summer programs that keep kids learning, active, and engaged through literacy, water safety, and career readiness initiatives. Kendall Gordon then visits the Milton Home Coffee Roastery to learn the basics of crocheting from members of the growing Milton Crochet Club and discover how the group is bringing people together through a shared hobby. The episode wraps with an introduction to Draper Media's new President, Bill Vernon, who shares his Delmarva roots, his vision for the company, and his commitment to serving the communities and stories that make the region unique.
