Two years ago this Halloween, Kim Castellano got a second chance at life. ❤️ She was born with a heart defect, has had 30+ surgeries, and matched only 4–6% of donor hearts. Thanks to new technology from a company called XVIVO, Kim was able to find a match. This past year, she even got to meet her donor’s daughter, a special moment she will never forget. Happy heart-iversary, Kim!

Before Aksarben Village had restaurants, shops and apartments, it was home to one of the busiest horse racing tracks in the country!   Pat and Ana look back at Ak-Sar-Ben's incredible history, from crowds of more than 31,000 racing fans to a Triple Crown winner buried somewhere on the former grounds. Plus, the unforgettable day the 1975 Omaha tornado threatened the track.   Did you ever go to the races at Ak-Sar-Ben?
