          On April 28, R. A. Long Historical Society was honored to participate again in the annual Derby Day opening day festivities and flag raising ceremony.

          Derby Day benefits the school activity fund and coincides with the 136th Kentucky Derby held May 1.  The goal this year for adult walkers/runners was to log 136 miles to honor the annual race.  Students participated in a walk/run April 29 to promote health and fitness.

          Special thanks to Walkabout Farms for bringing their Hackney horse, “Louie,” Longview Farm Elementary School mascot.  Louie participated in the opening festivities along with the Longview Farm Elementary relay team.
