These cheerful girls enjoy jumping through the “Band of Hope” at the MS Walk recently at the boat ramp across from the fairgrounds.
Later in the evening, walkers formed a human “Band of Hope” around the boat ramp parking area as a symbol of hope in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis.
The event, so far, has raised $21,000 to assist those living with MS and to help fuel research to eliminate the disease. At least 400 people, possibly more, participated in the walk. In addition to the children’s games, there were adult games, a silent auction, 50/50 drawing, a bake sale, and food. According to organizers, the event was a great success.

Trudy Massey of McConnelsville smiles with excitement as she turns in her winning $30,000 ticket and gets a hug from J.K. Cordray at the Outdoor Extravaganza held last Saturday at the Morgan County Fairgrounds.
Her ticket was a Christmas gift from her daughter. The fourth Extravaganza went really well, according to Michele Blackburn, chairman of the event. “We gave out over 3,000 meals, and we sold over 3,900 tickets,” she said. Mrs. Blackburn voiced appreciation to everyone who helped.
She said Key Club members over 18 years of age were a big help. She added, “It helps when you have plenty of good help. J.K. Cordray announced winners all afternoon, and we really appreciate his assistance.” The top prize, the 2008 Corvette coupe, was won by Bob Nichols of Madison.
