A little wet weather didn’t stop hundreds of area residents from taking over the Barton Middle School gym for the 2018 Relay for Life Hays County walk, which helps to fundraise for the American Cancer Society in its fight for a cure. Saturday’s event had music, fun, games, but also was meant to honor those who have succumbed to cancer. Those who attended the event created luminarias in memory of a loved one who passed away due to caner. According to the event website, Elm Grove Leaders Fighting for a Cure led the way by raising just over $5,300, while Barton Middle School collected $3,597 in donations.
