The Bucks for Bernie’s Kids 24-Hour Relay is in full swing if you are reading this column before 6 p.m. Saturday, July 29. The relay race is a fundraiser for Kennett High and Middle School cross-country and track team uniforms and takes place at the Livingston Oval at Kennett High School.
If the temps are high, we would love to see you and some kind of ice-cold something. If it’s raining, you could just drive by the parking lot and honk your horn to keep us going. No matter what, we would love to see you support us at the track anytime during the 24 hours.
