Scenes from the Sept. 14-15, 2013, Relay For Life for Osage County:

A small tent village created a neighborhood of people who came together to “give cancer the boot,” during the Osage County Relay For Life, Sept. 14-15, 2013.

No campfires were needed as the weather was perfect for sitting around camp for the all night Relay For Life, Sept. 14-15, 2013.
