Weekly Winners: Relay Recap

I was blown away to learn that our community raised approximately $60,000 for this Relay for Life Event. That's incredible, and I look forward to joining in again next year.

You've probably heard of Locks of Love. I was very intrigued by the bravery of people willing to walk up to a hair stylist they've never met and say, "Go ahead, and take 8 to 10 inches off. Whatever you want to do is fine."

Here's my co-worker, Jane, looking to help those with cancer and get a new look for spring.After
I did not know this woman, but the stylist asked me to take the before/after pics for them.

For the next shot, I said (with a smile), "Okay, now look like you're happy!" Here is the result:
And here was a first for me; the "Frozen T-Shirt Contest." What in the world?? Ten kids each bought a frozen t-shirt. First one to put his/her shirt on would win $50!
They were frozen solid and even had ice on them!
Strategies abounded:

The Thigh Roll and Belly-Push...
The Grip-and-Pull...
The Under-the-Shirt method....
The Freeze-Your-Armpit attempt...
The Not-So-Rated-G method...(Yes, he had it up his shorts, but only for a brief time; I wonder why??)
Many used their teeth...(this gave me chills and made me worry about potential trips to the dentist.)
Making some progress....
Check out the sweat this poor kid worked up!
Here's the Step-and-Pull method...
After about thirty minutes (yes, 30!)....

These kids were persistent! (Let's hope they attack their homework with the same zest!) One could never call them lazy!)
Neck and neck!
Ah, victory!Not bad, for 30 minutes-worth of work!
