Carnival Atmosphere for Woodstock Relay for Life

Friday, 14 June 2013 at 11:10

It's one of the most successful cancer fighting fundraisers in the province. Once again, hundreds are expected to attend the Woodstock Relay for Life at College Ave. Secondary School. In 2012, Woodstock's relay raised over $300,000, the 7th most successful relay in all of Ontario. The festivities kick off around 5 o'clock with a dunk tank featuring city councillor Jim Northcott. Others taking part are Police Chief Rod Freeman, Police Constable Bill McLeod, Fire Chief Scott Tegler, and Heart FM personalities Adam Nyp and Liz Wismer. Opening ceremonies are set for 6:45 p.m. There will be live music and other festivities under this year's theme of "Carnival for a Cure". The event is open to the public. Those who have registered and raised funds for the event will spend 12-hours walking around the track at College Ave. Secondary. That will be kicked off by the "Survivors Victory Lap" at 7PM. The popular "Luminary Ceremony" is set for 10PM, when those in attendance light candles in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer.
