Above, survivors and caregivers take a lap around the courthouse square Saturday at the annual Allen County Relay for Life. The event raised more than $27,500 for cancer research, support and education though the American Cancer Society. An auction brought in more than $1,400. Eight teams participated, while a ninth team raised money but didnt attend. Although attendance was down slightly, organizers reported a successful event that met its financial goals. At far left, Mary Spruk, Shawnee, and Lucille Heidrick, Humboldt, stroll past the luminaria that line the sidewalk. At left, Kaylah Lampe of Carlyle sells lemonade to raise money and provide refreshments to those who walked in the relay. REGISTER/VICKIE MOSS
