She became the executive director and producer of the WHAS Crusade for Children in 1976, which celebrated several milestones under her leadership including a 25th anniversary and its first million dollar year.<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place on Saturday, October 17th at Westport Village, located at Westport Road and Herr Lane. The race will begin at 9:30 a.m., and will be followed by Lyndon Fire and Rescue\u2019s annual Safety Festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur annual Safety Festival was traditionally being held in our fire house in conjunction with Fire Safety Week. However, we felt that this opportunity to have our Safety Festival in a more open and public area, such as Westport Village, would give us a chance to reach more of our customer base,\u201d Chief Rakestraw also said.<\/p>\n<p>The Safety Festival will begin following the race and will last until 4:00 p.m. It will include area partners such as LG&amp;E, Louisville Metro Red Cross and the Louisville Metro Police.<\/p>\n<p>Attending the Safety Festival is free of charge, and community members of all ages are encouraged to attend with their family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Registration for the 5K event can be completed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.active.com\/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1790987\">clicking here<\/a> and linking to Active.com.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some preview photos of the upcoming event.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lyndon Fire &amp; Rescue has a full day of activites planned for their Health and Safety Festival.
