Cash presentations will also be made during the auction again this year in regards to money raised from several other cancer fundraising events that have been held over the past year.

Jesters Improv Comedy Show set for Jan. 12 at Waseca High School
In the same vein as the hit television show Whose Line is it Anyway? Jesters Comedy Improv features a hilarious troupe of off-the-cuff performers who’ll do just about anything for a good laugh. This fast-paced, game-oriented comedy performance will keep you on your toes and in stitches as these grade-A comedians bounce from topic-to-topic with ease, creating comedic scenes, hilarious songs, and original jokes, all built off of suggestions from the audience and volunteers.
Tickets available through the Waseca Community Education Office in person, by phone at (507-835-5626) or at the door the night of the event (cash and check only). Tickets are $10.
