"Cancer survivors have come here. They’ve received an instant, it’s free admission. The smiles they put on people’s face is just awesome. More than likely, rather than this just being a one and done event, it’s probably gonna be an annual event, which is just great."
There were concessions, a 50-50 raffle and silent auctions.
