County Relay For Life, the major fundraiser for the
American Cancer Society, is set for July 21 and 22 at

The luminary service, honoring cancer survivors and remembering those whose lives were taken by cancer, will be held at dark.  Shown are members of the Dream Team: Sam Hammel, Tom Goddard, Kelly Starkey, Eva Starkey, Chuck Yonaley, Jane Yonaley and Tiffany Estel.
