The traditional kick-off to Norfolk’s summer season, the five-mile Memorial Day Road Race is won by the fleet of foot. But the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department, which organizes the race, also dedicates all proceeds from entrance fees, advertising and donations to its NVFD Scholarship Fund. This year, the fund distributed $3,500 to five Norfolk students. From left, they are: Shannon Ballard, Taylor Allyn, Shannon Tallon, and Tanner Smith. With them is Ron Zanobi, chairman of the road race. Not pictured: Katherine Hinman.
