						one...sniff, sniff...I thought I'd share these pics 
						of some hardcore Hootervillonians.

				Relay for Life event which was held June 10-11, 2005 in Elkton, KY.  
				
  
				Each team chose their favorite TV show to use as their theme.  
				Naturally our choice was Green Acres!  
				
  
				As best as we could, we dressed like the cast.  
				It was  a lot of fun trying.  
				We also created a banner that tied our business in with the show.    
				Our campsite was set up as "Sam Druckers General Store".  
				We sold bottled Cokes, candy, watermelon slices, and items which had been donated to our team.  
				We also sold raffle tickets on a child's John Deere gator and a Farmall pedal tractor.   
				
  
				Our team won the prize for "Best Campsite" even though the "Beverly Hillbillies" team gave us some 
				stiff competition!  We are happy to report that  our county raised over $84,000!!! 
				This far exceeded our goal of $55,000.
