Contingency plans made for weekend Relay concert
The 1st Annual Relay For Life Concert and Carnival, sponsored by the Russellville Civitans team, will take place Saturday, April 21 from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Sloss Lake in Russellville.
In the event of rain on Saturday, the event will be moved to Sunday, April 22, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students, $15 for families of four or more, and free for children 6 and under.
The event will join together several different Relay For Life teams in the area who will provide games, food and entertainment – the proceeds of which will all go towards the American Cancer Society through the Relay For Life.
Entertainment for the evening will include a slate of performers that event organizer Frank Bishop said will provide something for everyone to enjoy.
While the musicians are performing, several different Relay teams will have booths set up to provide games, food and other giveaways.
“This is just a great way to bring people together for an afternoon and evening of fun for the whole family,” said Belinda Johnson, who serves as the Relay For Life event chairperson for Franklin County.
“We need more things in this area that bring people together, and it’s great when you can find something in the area to do together that the kids and adults can all enjoy.
Plus, this event gives you the opportunity to support a great cause at the same time you’re having fun.
“We think this event will be a great way to kick off springtime in Franklin County and we hope people across the area will come out to support it.”
Come out with your family and enjoy this fun community event and support the American Cancer Society.
