WOW, what a great weekend in Longview. The K-100 took off on Saturday June 25th. Friday evening a wonderful meal was served by the Longview Firemen at the firehall where many of the runners gathered for the evening. A special thanks to those who did cooking and volunteered their time in one way or another at the hall on Friday night as well as the ladies from the library who where up bright and early on Saturday doing a small breakfast and coffee in the park for all runners. Haven't heard from any of the runners since they left Longview but the weather cooperated and hopefully all had a wonderful run in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The Village remained very busy throughout the weekend with the Ride to Conquer Cancer also going through. There were 2280 riders taking part and $8.6 million was raised for the cause. Longview school yard provided a pit stop for all the riders over the course of the weekend while friends and family members lined the streets encouraging the riders along the way. 200 kilometers later the riders arrived back at their destination and hopefully enjoyed their weekend in the foothills.
We are looking for Volunteers for decorating the float for the Little New York Daze, working in information tents in shifts on the weekend of Longview Daze and lots of other events and fundraisers that will be happening over the summer so if you've got a few hours to spare, please contact Michele at 403 558-2158. You could be one of the many who will make the difference! Thanks
