The Little Sisters of the Poor hosted their annual Turtle Derby — affectionately called the “slowest two minutes in sports” — May 1.

Students at St. Bernard School in Highview took a break from classes on April 29 to watch the Norton Healthcare hot air balloon touch down on the school campus during the “rush hour race.”
