POINT PLEASANT —The community is gearing up to attend one of the biggest events of the year - the Mason County Relay for Life.

The free event starts at 6 p.m., this Saturday, June 16 at the Point Pleasant High School Athletic Complex.

There will be food, entertainment, the Survivors and Caregivers Lap, team recognition, the lighting of luminaries and a major auction to raise money in the fight against cancer.

The auction starts at 7:30 pm and not only is the auction open to everyone, but all the events of the Relay. Some of the items up for grabs are two Cincinnati Reds game tickets with a one night stay in the Hampton Inn in Covington, Ky. on July 17-18. There are also NFL Football tickets for the Cleveland Browns vs. Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 24 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium while sitting in the “Dawg” pound, watching a team with former Marshall University Star Vinnie Curry on board.

Also up for grabs, what is described as a beautiful household basket with a tea cup set, cupcake molds, candle and Pandora-style bracelet; Longaberger ice cream cone dishes with ice cream serving tray; Longaberger wrought iron Christmas tree candle holder and pottery dishes; P.Buckley Moss Limited Edition Print; Gift Card Basket filled with over 10 different gift cards; a Girl Gift Basket; a Sweet Treats Basket with Longaberger and Tastefully simple items; Think Pink Set; a purse; Scentsy burners and tarts; Time Marches On wall clocks; a You Light Up My life Candle set and a Longaberger Pink measuring cup,baking dish and muffin mix.

All of these items have been donated by various businesses and persons in the community to help make Relay for Life a wonderful event, organizers say. All money raised goes to the American Cancer Society.

There are over 200 team members working hard to raise funds in the fight against cancer at this year’s Mason County Relay For Life. Again, teams will be recognized but so will survivors and caregivers. Everyone, whether their lives have been touched by cancer or not, is welcome to attend.

MIDDLEPORT — A “Cafe Murder” a comedy/mystery where the audience gets to solve the crime, will be presented by the River City Players at 7 p.m. on Saturday in the Middleport Village Hall auditorium.

The RCP have assembled a comedic cast of veteran performers who Roger Gilmore describes as “having difficulty making it through the rehearsals because they are laughing to hard.”

“Café Murder” is a hilarious murder mystery-comedy for which the River City Players (RCP) Community Theater has assembled a killer (pun-intended) comedic cast. The cast list includes: Celia McCoy as an overbearing, hypochondriacal birthday girl, eldest of five sisters; Dixie Sayre her sister, an aging hippie, paranoid and quite inappropriate; Linda Warner, another sister who is a very proper conservative bank executive, intelligent, and sexually repressed; Jessica Holliday, another sister, self-absorbed, airhead “Valley Girl”; Janis Carnahan, the sister who is a long-haul trucker – rude, crude, and thinks she’s a dude; Gary Walker, a scattered, self-taught detective with a limited vocabulary; Mike Kennedy, an incompetent waiter; Tony Carnahan, a French chef for whom a great deal is lost in translation; and Roger Gilmore, a snooty maitre’d and owner of the restaurant. This talented group of RCP veterans promises to provide a real laugh riot, and you don’t want to miss the fun.

While this will not be a dinner theater presentation, appetizers and desserts will be served prior to and during the performance. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 with advance seating available through the Fabric Shop in Pomeroy or at the door. For more information, visit www.rivercityplayers.org, Facebook River City Players – Middleport, email rcp.showinfo@gmail.com or phone (740) 444-1595.

Mother Nature rains out Tri-County junior golfers

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The young men and women playing in the Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League are a hardy bunch. However, Mother Nature showed who the boss really was Thursday morning at the scheduled tournament to be played at the Cliffside Golf Course.

Actually, in spite of the heavy rains that fell early Thursday morning, the golf course was very playable and the young ones teed off at approximately 9:30 a.m.. About an hour later, the rains returned washing out the days play.

Thursday’s tournament has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 26, at the Cliffside Golf Course. All players who paid the entry fee for Thursday’s outing will not be charged to play on the 26th. Lunch, because it was available after the rain stopped play Thursday, will not be served on the 26th.

All other scheduled Tri-County Junior Golf Tournaments will be played as scheduled. Next week’s play will be at the Meigs County Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with play starting at 8:50 a.m.
