Relay For Life Walk

This weekend is the local Relay for Life Walk. It is a 24 hr walk to benifit the American Cancer Society. It will take place at Walled Lake Middle School on the track field. Lots of other activities, too. Pizza, DJ's, survivor and caregiver laps and at dusk they light hundreds of decorated luminarias. For $10 you 'buy' a white paper bag and decorate it. Most people dedicate their bag to a certain person. I bought one, but couldn't decide how I wanted to decorate it. I finally decided to make one dedicated to all who put up a good fight. I will be there walking at midnight, so if you have some extra time drop by!

Kalamazoo Show Report

What a beautiful day! Temps in the 70's, sunny with a slight breeze. Couldn't ask for a better day to spend in the park. Kalamazoo has a wonderful vibrant downtown area. There was a Do-Da parade with lots of imaginative floats (I could see parts of it from my booth and I got reports from people who were there). And there was music at the nearby band shell all day. Big Band, Bluegrass, Classical - they covered all tastes. Fifteen minutes before the 5:00 closing the heavens opened and a thunderstorm ended everything. Very dramatic closing! But, I will definitely look at this show again when deciding my yearly route.

I didn't get a chance to post pictures from last weeks dye time. But I did take one at the show. I just love the colors!
