Good Times and Great Horse Racing at Monmouth Park with the RBR Education Foundation

The RBREF's Day at the Races was a sure bet for a fun afternoon.

The Red Bank Regional Education Foundation’s 3rd annual “Day at the Races” at Monmouth Park Race Track on Saturday Sept. 22 was a sold-out, sunny (if a bit windy) day of fun for parents, students, families and teachers.  

With the help of student servers from RBR’s International Baccalaureate program, Vince Pappagallo of Little Silver’s Chef Shack provided a delicious array of choices for lunch. Meanwhile, many of the kids in attendance (and some adults, including Little Silver’s Mayor Bob Neff) lined up to have their faces painted by the RBR art student volunteers. In between races, people also stopped by the Buc Stop table to check out the new gear in RBR's colors. 

Carol Johnson, of Little Silver, won the 50/50 raffle and generously donated a portion of her winnings back to the RBREF.  She also had her picture taken in the winner’s circle following the RBREF’s sponsored race.
