This Sunday, community members, caregivers, and survivors of cancer are welcome to participate in the Relay for Life of Audubon County, with new and repeat events planned. Starting at 2:00 p.m. and lasting throughout the afternoon at the Agri Hall Building located at the Audubon County Fairgrounds, there will be a silent auction, with face painting for the kids and new this year, a vendor fair to provide entertainment while waiting for the opening ceremony starting at 5:00 p.m. Joan Bauer, Committee member for Audubon County Relay for Life says the opening ceremony will consist of a tractor parade, relating to the relay’s newest event this year.
Registration for the tractor ride will start at 1:00 p.m. at the Agri Hall; while there is no fee for participating, a free-will donation is appreciated. Once the tractors return and the concluding of the opening ceremony, dinner will be served by the Audubon County Pork Producers also for a free will donation. Starting at 5:30 p.m. the event will kick off with the silent auction, luminary sales, sponsorship, and team recognition. The survivor ceremony and balloon release will follow at 6:00 p.m., with the luminaria ceremony and closing ceremony finishing the evening between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Bauer says all proceeds from the event are raised for the American Cancer Society to continue to make a difference for individuals diagnosed with cancer.
Registration of teams or survivors, donations, and purchases of Luminaries can be done the day of the event or prior to Sunday online. A link to all that has been included below.
