Okay, I'm not going to give the weather any more chances. It was 80. Then it was in the 30s. I'm going to boycott the weather, because when the shorts come out, they stay out.

The last week of turkey season was a little tough, for me anyway. Crappie are being caught and people are finding mushrooms. The time is upon us and that makes me happy happy happy.

Kids, we're all interested in the Relay for Life. And earlier this week, we talked about one event coming up this weekend to benefit the Relay: The Bear Auction. But did you know there's another event for the Relay that same day?

Relay for Life's Bear Auction for a Beary Good Cause

Behka — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:00:20 +0000

Kids, a lot of different events are happening around us for the Relay For Life. The Relay is almost a year-round event, really, because these teams work so hard to get fundraising going. They do everything they can think of to get members, donations and awareness out there. The actual Relay event isn't until June, but that doesn't mean teams aren't hard at work.

We here at the station have been accepting donations of bears for their yearly bear auction. My very own sister even went through her precious stuffed bear collection and donated some to the cause. People have decorated, dressed, and gussied up their bears so that you'll bid on them, and all the money will go to the great Relay for Life.
