Our organization revolves around volunteers, and each year, a select group of these dedicated individuals gather together and form the KFD's Board and Committee.

 

From August to June, they work to bring our annual event to life. We call this special team our "Red Shirt Crew" -- easily identified by their red shirts and hats -- and each play an important role in making the Derby a success; having their own unique list of duties and activities they oversee and manage.
