Reasons to Relay #10 -- Entertainment

The 2013 Relay For Life of Bethel is an overnight, grassroots fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  This year's event will take place on Saturday, June 8.  Since it's 2013, we'll be sharing 13 reasons why YOU should join us at Relay For Life.  Reason #10 is Entertainment.

***************************************

We've discussed several of the "main events" that take place at Relay For Life, including the Survivor Lap, Luminaria Ceremony, and the Fight Back Ceremony.  There's also, of course, quite a bit of walking around the track.  In between ceremonies and laps, though, there's plenty to do, starting with a wide variety of entertainment.

There will be music, of course, including live performances by My Dad's Truck and the Cross Town Band.  Come dance by the stage or let the music put some pep in your step as you Relay around the track.  In between bands we'll feature a dance performance by Gilleoghan Irish Dance.

For those looking for a more interactive experience, there will be a couple of opportunities on the main stage.  Get the blood flowing with a Zumba workout, then stop by later for another dance workout with Sh'bam.

In addition to the dancing and performances, there will also be a variety of games, activities, and contests.  Try your hand at the Frozen T-Shirt Contest, or perhaps come get your face painted.  Don't forget the Miss Relay pageant, which is sure to entertain (hint -- guys in dresses!).  

Oh yeah, in the midst of all of this entertainment, we'll also be raising money to help the American Cancer Society fight cancer.  So really, where else could you possibly want to be on June 8th other than at Relay For Life?
