Relay for Life of Wabash County returns to Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday, Aug. 13, and will again paint the town purple in support of the cancer victims and survivors.

Since March, Relay participants have fundraised for the event. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society for cancer research and other programs that benefit cancer victims on a local level, according to Aaron Holley, local Relay event co-chair.

“Just Wabash County, we raise typically about $60,000 a year, which is super exciting for us,” he told The Paper of Wabash County, “and that money goes to places locally and nationally … and it’s neat that it helps in multiple areas.”

By Emma Rausch
 
The Wabash River Trail from Lagro to Wabash may not be crossing along the river the whole way, according to several Lagro-riverfront landowners.
 
Lena Gray and her siblings Jess and Bernice Gressley are all saying “no” to the WRT’s development across their property.
 
“I think people are under the assumption that this trail going all the way to Wabash to Lagro and it’s already been set and it hasn’t,” Gray told The Paper of Wabash County in an interview on Thursday, Aug. 4.
 
She reached out to The Paper recently, requesting to announce her family’s decision to the public.
