Relay for Life
We had another great year at the Relay for Life with the Scheuber family and earned more money for the cause with our newly added raffle. The Foster Chickens were quite a hit as they were seated on their spiffy cart ( designed and constructed by Uncle Leo) making the rounds on the track.
I am always amazed and saddened each year to see more people at the relay that I know that have been inflicted with this terrible disease or that have lost someone during the past year. I was excited to see a girl from Ben's school (who has gone through chemo treatments this last year) walking the track. I have seen her on the local channel designing plates for the Cattlemen's Ball (another cancer fund raiser ) John and I were at the Cattlemen's Ball this year and those plates were purchased by our mayor's wife for $3000. Aside from the sadness of the cancer cases, it is encouraging to see all the monies that are being earned before and during the relay to help fight for a cure.
At about 10:30 Sat night Grandpa Scheuber was looking down on us at the track from the large screen. (That delightful picture of him from Switzerland that many of us have) I am sure his spirit was there with us.
Many thanks to all of you that were able to take part. oleomarge
