WARREN, Pa. – The 2021 Warren County Relay for Life will be held at Betts Park Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
This year’s event is based on a country-western theme called “Hope Ranch” with most events based on that idea. Having “hope” is the key word for the relays worldwide as the volunteers work hard to bring hope to cancer patients and their families.
There will be live entertainment from singers Kallie Williams and Sarah Marino. Matt Cox from the Miracle Mountain Ranch will be “showing us the ropes” along with one of the long-horned steers from the ranch. Family-friendly games will be available throughout the day as well as pony rides. Several food trucks will be there from noon until 6 p.m.
There will also be raffles throughout the day and a special drawing will be held at 10 p.m. for a 10 foot Ozark Angler Kayak. Raffle tickets will be available at the Relay. It is a day filled with fun, laughter and tears with several teams working together to make this event happen.
As sundown approaches a special highlight of the relay is the Luminaria event. White bags are decorated and dedicated to those who have been affected by cancer in one way or another by a memorial, a tribute to a survivor or caregiver or even a relay volunteer. The bags are then placed all around the walkway and illuminated.
The many volunteers that are involved in the Relay for Life spend the entire year working hard and are the heart and soul of the event. They come from all walks of life from the young and old and work together as one big family. It is a way to meet new people, help those in need and support the community.
