Relay for Life
May 1 is the date for this very special event that raises money for the American Cancer Society. The night begins with a walk for survivors while luminaries burn in remembrance of those who have lost the fight against this debilitating disease. There are many activities planned, and the Men’s Beauty Contest . . . or is it the “Best Legs” contest . . . has the most interest. Rumor has it that Mayor Billy D’Aquilla will be a “contestant” this year!
