Kane Relay Parade
These cancer survivors sit on their float during Kane's Relay for Life parade Thursday. In the following pictures, relay teams and others get ready to march in the parade.
Moments before the largest parade to hit Kane in years, teams gathered, survivors mounted a float decorated in the colors of cancer, Miss Relay contestants, Kane's Prince and Princess, and other dignitaries got in their convertibles, fire trucks, motocylists, ice cream and winery trucks fell in line to launch the 8th annual Kane Area Relay. The survivor and luminary ceremonies and kickoff are Friday night at the Kane Area High School Track. 18 teams are participating this year. The 24 hour relay event is a celebration after a year of fundraising which ends Saturday morning. This year's fundraising goal for Kane is $40K. Barry and Shirley Morgan of Kane planned the well received parade. They also championed community wide fundraising efforts raising well over $5K for the overall Kane Area Relay. They conducted many fundraising events for their own teams.
Below, McKean County Commissioner Joe DeMott makes his way through the parade, while the crowd watches.
The Relay is at Kane Area High School. Go support these people!

We don't want to name names and take the chance of inadvertently excluding someone.
There were so many dedicated, behind the scenes people that helped to make this happen.
As with any event it takes a group effort not just one person to make things posible!
And in this case we saw a whole town and the surrounding areas pull together to make this Parade and Relay as successful as it was.
We should all be so thankful and proud to know we live in a area with so many wonderful people with such big hearts!!!!!!
Sincerely
Shirley and Barry Morgan
