The 2015 Relay for Life went very well Saturday all day and into the night at the Ogle Park. The weather was windy and chilly but everyone wrapped up and made it. The teams had booths with lots of food to sell. We had home made ice cream, cookies, desserts, snow cones, delicious funnel cakes, walking tacos, and drinks. The East Enterprise Volunteer Fire Department had a fish fry in the evening. It was really good. All of the sale proceeds went to the American Cancer Fund with the teams getting the credit.
The Farm Bureau team was in charge of the survivors lunch with Gayle preparing the delicious food. Thanks to all who helped with that. There was games for the kids and entertainment for all. The luminary program with the lights out and candles lit was again very moving as the cancer survivors and the ones who lost that battles. Names were read at the end of the relay. The auction was also very good. We enjoyed visiting as everyone walked around the laps. Lots of old friends were there and many from neighboring counties visited. I was disappointed that more people could not be there to enjoy the day. Thanks to all that came and all that helped. It was appreciated.
