For the past 21 years, Barton County Relay For Life has taken place in Great Bend. The event for Friday, June 10 shifts over to Hoisington for the first year. Chairwoman Mariann Shook is hoping to receive a good turnout and support for a Barton County event.
Relay For Life unites the community to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and raise money to fight back against the disease.
