Relay is Saturday at WW!

The annual Relay for Life celebration will take place Saturday – that's tomorrow – at West Washington High School. This year, the event is one day only, beginning at 11 a.m. with the opening ceremonies. Another big change is the survivor lap. It has always been at the beginning of Relay; this year it will take place at 6:30 p.m. This year's event will end in spectacular fashion – with a fireworks show. The sky is set to light up after the 10 p.m. closing ceremony.

There are 16 teams taking part in this year's Relay: SVSH Dream Team, Momma J’s, Sugar Creek Christian Church, MPP, American Senior Communities of Salem, Mid-Southern Savings Bank, Unforgettable’s Family & Friends, National Guard, Walton’s Walkers, Gillbillies, Riding for a Cure, Crossroads Baptist Church, First Harrison Fighters, GKN, Pioneers of Hope, West Washington Relay and Light My Fire.

The public is encouraged to stop by at any time Saturday and enjoy the fun and festivities.
