Relay for Life Pageants will be held Saturday, March 24, at Carroll County Middle School. The pageant is open to all. Categories are age specific and participation fees vary from $10-$30. People’s Choice also will be awarded in all categories from Little Miss/Mister and up.

Admission for audience members is $3; children under 5 are free. All survivors or anyone currently battling cancer is invited to be a guest at the pageant. Survivors are free to enter and will win a crown and sash.

I have had lots of visitors lately, and I have had to plan menus that are easy to prepare and quick. One particular family member flew in from California late in the afternoon.  We had plans for 7:00 p.m. and they had not had anything to eat on the plane. Actually, they had been given a menu to choose from (they had to pay for their meal), but everything they chose, the flight attendant said they didn’t have. Consequently, they had nothing to eat. It pays to plan ahead.
