One More Relay For Life Post

There was a Walk of Fame at the Masquerade Ball.  Some of my friends were nice enough to support the Relay for Life Team by purchasing stars to recognize people that had fought and in some cases, lost, their battles with cancer.  All the stars were on a wall.  It was a nice tribute.  Candles were along the bottom of the wall.  Very nice tribute.  It turned out to be a great fundraiser.
I told my friends I would take pictures of the stars they purchased.  Thanks for your support.  Unfortunately, most of us know someone that has battled cancer.  My list is way too long.  The team did not buy enough stars.  They sold all they purchased and could have sold more. 
Beyond the beautiful dresses and unique masks, the real reason for these wonderful dances is we all want to do whatever we can to support Relay For Life.

Relay for Life 2012

Here we are another day after the dance posting.  I am not going to lie, I woke up with a bit of a headache.  Who knew they put vodka in the lemonade slush?  Maybe I knew.  It was good stuff.  What I learned this morning was I did not take enough pictures.  I am sorry about that.  There were so many beautiful gowns.  Lots of sequins.  Ladies seemed to really enjoy dressing up.  Men were a bit more limited.  The highlight of the evening was the Relay Team and their performance.  This year they did dances from movies.  The Mrs. started out the performance with her take on Sound of Music.  I did not get a good picture.  Trust me, she looked so sweet.  Perfect for the part.  There will be video floating around blog world soon.  I just wanted to get some pictures out as soon as I could.

The disappointment of the evening is not enough people attend this event.  I do not get it.  It is fun to dress up.  It is entertaining.  I enjoy sitting and watching how people dress.  Obviously, the entertainment is unique.  When all is said and done, the team has a great time and raises money for Relay For Life.  They use the phrase, "Hating On Cancer."  They do a great job of it.  Here are a few pictures.  More to follow.
