We Did It!

The rain held off until around 9:30, but it did rain and we had our event anyway. I think everyone was pretty skeptical about holding Relay For Life in a parking garage, but it actually worked out very well. People walked and walked and it was pretty loud, with sound echoing throughout the concrete structure, but it was manageable. Luminaria bags were set up and the "track" was in between the bags and the exterior wall campsites. Entertainment was provided by an acoustic guitar duo who played and sang throughout the event. We extended the event from the original end time of 9:30 until 10:00, but most people left by 9:45.

A big thank-you goes to event planners, the LTHS Interact Club for providing so many students to pull it off and to the Hill Country Galleria Mall for allowing us to use the parking garage. Having to call the event off for the second straight year because of rain would have been terrible I think everyone was thrilled that we did not have to do that.

Thanks go out to all cancer survivors who attended, to team captains and all participants.

Come back to this post later in the week for a link to photos from the 2010 Relay For Life of Lake Travis.
