HURLEY, Mississippi -- Cancer survivors and their families as well as many from the Hurley area turned out Saturday for food, fireworks and fund-raising for the American Cancer Society at the East Central Relay For Life here at Shirley Stadium.
The event started at 10 a.m. and was scheduled to go through midnight.
Cancer survivors Eddie Christensen and Faye Griffith served as the king and queen of the festivities.
They led the survivor walk as survivors, identified by their purple t-shirts, walked a lap around the field, then were joined by their caregivers for another lap.
Different team members continued walking laps throughout the day.
There were vendors around the field selling various treats, raising money toward their team goals.
Of all of the games and fun activities, the most popular was an oversized, motorized Radio Flyer wagon that zipped around the East Central schools with riders, both old and young.
