Friday Is A Day For Farming, Friends and Flames!

A variety of events will keep many Cannon Countians busy on Friday. The annual Day On The Farm event will be located on the fairgrounds. Elementary school students will have the opportunity to learn about farming and products from the farm. Activities will begin in the expo building at 8:30am.

The Historic Cannon County Chamber of Commerce will hold a spring mixer this afternoon. Chamber members will hear from numerous elected officials with updates on area projects. Members will also have a chance to see the expanded Arts Center of Cannon County. The meet and greet is open to members and persons interested in joining the chamber. Hours will be from 4:00pm until 6:00pm.
The annual Relay For Life will begin Friday night at 6. Teams will walk the track as a relay through the night to raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society. Food booths will be on the grounds and music will fill the night with performers on the stage. Everyone is invited. Bring your favorite lawn chair and show your support for the team members.

The event will begin with a lap around the track for cancer survivors followed by a lap for care givers. At 9:00pm the luminary ceremony will begin. Persons wishing to purchase a luminary in memory or to honor a person can do so with the minimum of a $5.00 donation. To reserve a luminary, call Korie Aycock at Woodbury Funeral Home.
