We were out there yesterday evening to help set up tents for the team Elizabeth is on. All the pieces weren't there for the ones that had been loaned to her, but thanks to the coordinators of this event, 2 tents were up in a matter of minutes. :)
Like Maddy, I hope to see ya'll there!!

This was a good event, with $140,000 raised by the Relay For Life teams through the creative fundraising and generous contributions of the Union County community.Here's a picture from last night's Luminaria Ceremony to give you a peek at the event. A picture gallery will be coming soon.
