Our Relay For Life

[grndma1]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that our Relay For Life in Jackson County was a big success. If they had given a prize for the ones coming the farthest, I think my family would have won. . My family from Alabama , Florida, and Texas came. Even my nephew who is in the Navy stationed in Japan saved his leave for this. He flew in and came straight there from the airport. I have posted pictures on My Space. Our family team won a silver award for raising over $2,500. We raised $3,460.19. We also got a third place ribbon for most money raised by a family team and won a crystal plaque for having the most original spirit stick. The total money raised for Jackson County was over $ 160,000. Some of the family will be visiting for awhile and others had to leave due to a family medical emergency, but it was great having all of them here with me at the first Relay since Roger passed.

SOUNDS GREAT GMA1. GLAD YOU ALL ARE SUCH A CLOSE KNIT FAMILY. YOU ALL ARE GREAT PEOPLE. DID YOU ALL CLEAN OUT CARDO'S PIZZA AS WELL.

YTB, Not yet, but some of the family is still here. Every one always wants a Jackson County Veal and a Ski pop when they come home, but one nephew from Florida took his wife to Cardos because he said he had been thinking of those BLT Pizzas all the way up here.

anyone from Vinton or Jackson County knows the best thing in the world is a bottle of SKI and a VEAL I lived on SKI throughout High school

[grndma1]

When I lived in Virginia Beach, everytime I came home to see family, I took Breaded un-cooked veals and Ski in my cooler, back with me. My Brother's family would have the buns and pickles and deep fryer ready as soon as I got there.

I try to stay away from carnivals even though I have to go to one this week.. but veal is always good in good ole Vinton County... never has any in Jackson co but i am sure its just as good!

[grndma1]

Come on now, they are called Jackson County Veals, so they must be better. My brother who lives in Vinton County always comes to Jackson or Wellston for a Jackson County Veal.

You were a big part of it. Thanks again. We are already planning next years. We have our theme and will start fund raising in September. We want to beat this years amount.

Grndma1 Last year my daughter and I came up there and in the park they had a band, the man and women who was singing were wearing bibbed overhauls. They was really good. Will they be back this year.

[grndma1]

What park? Pig Iron days was at Manpower park but the Relay was at the track. Don't know anything about a man and woman in bibs. Sorry.
