Santa visits Village Green

/in , , /by

NNFD Station 6 had a special delivery for some very special children in Village Green on Saturday, Dec 21st. Santa delivered a couple of dozen donuts when he stopped by Station 6 awaiting his ride over in the big red sleigh with lights and sirens on.

Diane, Joy, Cheryl, Amy, and Debi saw that the children had gingerbread houses, pancakes, donuts, and the arrival of a special guest with presents for the little ones. Knowing Santa so well, he told me it really made his Christmas to have so many little ones welcome him with open arms. It was truly amazing and I hear he will be back…

For any parents looking for pics, please email me at [email protected] and I will send you a link to the photos we took.

Santa had the help of some special elves as well…thank you to everyone that made this event happen!

2019 Village Green Biathlon

/in , , /by

The annual Biathlon was run again with some previous athletes (Carrisa and Candice came out of retirement) and equally important MANY new faces!!! What a great time. This is what Village Green is all about. Connor was DJ and official race starter due to a bicycle accident the day before. We had several last minute entries which made it fun and exciting. Coach Amy brought a distance runner with her and the Block children were resourceful in drafting teammates. (The Woodruff’s are starting their training for next year’s biathlon beginning tomorrow.) Team Potatoes shot out of the gate with a great swim and then rocketed around Village Green Pkwy with the fastest run — admittedly, they caught the race organizers by surprise!!!

We had to run 3 heats because we had 14 teams! That was amazing…and made it a bit of a challenge for the official timekeeper. 😉 Thanks for the 14 timers that were able to help out using stopwatches and cell phones.

Great job to all the participants and of course to all the winners!
