For 15 years Blooming Prairie has been raising funds to fight cancer.
Two big nights, Sept. 11 and 12, have been set for this year’s, which will include several new, fun and exciting features under the big tent at the Blooming Prairie Cue Company.
The 15th annual cancer auction will again begin with a live auction Friday night starting at 7.
Registration for the 3rd Annual Cancer Memorial Walk will begin at 8:30 at the "Field of Flags" on Saturday morning. Pink flags will fly in grand array to promote the week and astonish onlookers for their beauty and availability. It is a sight you're not apt to see many places other than in Blooming Prairie.
To stay in style for the event, $5 haircuts will be offered, and don't be surprised at the crazy hair styles and face paintings that will be displayed. There will also be chair massages, manicures, games and many other fun events.
Everyone loves bingo and all ages can take home prizes when Family Bingo is played. Meanwhile people will be able to listen to the tapping from a Stix of Fury performance at 6:30 Saturday night. This little band of percussion performers has shared its great musical abilities at many events.
There will be another live auction Saturday night.
Last but not least, a raffle will be held in memory of Steve Prihoda, thanks to his family and friends. Cash prizes in the amount of $1,000, $300 and $200 will be awarded at 10 Saturday night.
Cheri Krejci said the pink flags have been flying in Blooming Prairie and they hope that people will take that short drive to the see the great display and take part in the many activities.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Blooming Prairie Cancer organization.
