The 2008 Relay for Life was held Friday night at the fairgrounds. The theme was "Once upon a time...there was a cure." The survivors' walk was held right after the opening ceremonies, as seen with this group of women. Over 120 survivors registered. This year's fundraising goal was $185,000, up from last year's $177,000. As of Saturday morning, they had raised $137,000. That number is growing as money is still coming in.


The theme of this year’s Relay for Life was “Once Upon a Time...There Was a Cure.” All around the fairgrounds, you could see various “princesses” that represented all survivors.


One of the most popular booths was the dunking booth. This child nearly hit the target, but missed by a couple of inches.
