Entertainment sought for Relay weekend
Patterson Relay For Life organizers are looking for entertainers for the May 1 and 2 walkathon at Patterson Community Stadium.
During the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Patterson, teams of people walk or run on the community track for 24 hours, because “cancer never sleeps.” Participants collect donations beforehand, and the money raised goes for cancer research.
Sonia Musson, entertainment chairwoman, welcomes folkloric dancers, bands, dance studios, karate and other martial arts groups, and singers to perform on the stadium stage.
For information: Sonia Musson, 606-4115.
