We all know that we are eternally grateful to our adult volunteers...Longville runs on it’s very generous and loyal volunteers ! But Longville also has an up and coming team of Junior Volunteers that we are grateful for and dependent on !! On any given Wednesday, Travis and Morgan Flohaug, Charlie Stewart, Peyton Lange, Emery Hanson, Addison, Michaela and Taylor Johnson and Alex Lewis are there making sure we have a well oiled machine for our turtle racer guests. Travis and Morgan run games, just like their adult counterparts, Charlie Stewart is our music technician, and Peyton and Emery are calling the Fastest and Slowest turtles in each race..so that our guests can count on our integrity at calling the winners...and this is VERY important to everyone. Lastly, but also extremely important, is the team of Addison, Michaela and Taylor Johnson and Alex Lewis, who are ensuring fresh turtles for each race and giving those turtles who have just raced a cooling off period. ALL critical jobs to the Turtle races..week in and week out. So, let’s give them a pat on the back and a hearty Congratulations when you see them...they deserve it!!
We had 250 plus racers this past week, including the rest of the family, that’s about 750 people....keeping Main Street Longville looking like a mini State Fair with games, hula hooping, dancing, cotton candy, sno cones, hot dogs and loud music. You say....how does this all happen for 12 weeks in the summer...and we say...IT’S THE VOLUNTEERS ! Thanks to all who come to serve and those who participate. Come see us next week..it’s bound to be crazy fun !!
