On Oct. 25, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus and Historian Johanna Yaun visited fourth graders at Willow Avenue Elementary School. The date marked the fifth anniversary of Mastodon Day.
It was a return visit. Mr. Neuhaus had come to Willow a year ago after getting letters from Debbie Gilson’s fourth-graders. The kids had asked him to proclaim a Mastodon Day, since so many remains had been found in Orange County.
