CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY BAGS $5 At dusk a Candlelight Ceremony is held. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and to show our support for those living with cancer. Candle bags inscribed with personal messages are placed around the track. As they burn throughout the night, they emit a warm glow from the candles placed inside. Bags are available from Cancer Society or we can get one for you to decorate when then we can take to the ceremony. Thank you so much, I hope you follow our progress.
