AHH...the early morning sun rises... |
as the crowd gathers and prepares for... |
the 2004 South Washtenaw Relay for Life! |
The Milan Senior Fun Band |
Lori Friese-Baker - Our Friend! |
Mickey shows that he's still missing fingers! |
The Flint Ink team is a very large very fun part of this event! |
Walkers coming in from the opening lap. |
Lori and her son Aaron, who spent time in Iraq. |
The Tae Kwan Do demonstrations that take place at this event... |
always draw huge crowds. So much, in fact,... |
that they perform twice during the event! |
Fiddlers Restrung. WOW! This group of students from Saline
High School absolutely blew us away! |
It was amazing, the amount of talent and professionalism that the group
of people exhibited. |
Ready?
Thumbs Up!
Smile...and
CHEESE! |
The Mister Relay contestants in their get-up. While always GREAT
fun... |
this portion of the event went WAY over it's limit, affecting the amount
of time other performers were allotted. |
Here, the "ladies" instructed by professionals on how to do the Cha-Cha
Slide. |
Lance in a Batman campy off-angle shot.
Notice, if you will, that you can't see the wires holding him at the
angle he's being photographed at. Cheap special effects. |
Lisa Pappas, folk singer/songwriter who entertained for the crowd, her
performance time cut short by the WAY long-running Mr. Relay contest. |
Jim in a Star Trek: The Next Generation off-angle shot.
Notice, if you will, that you can't see the 5 guys holding the table at
an angle for this high-budget special effects shot. |
Rachel Williams and her guitar player (Dave?). Another act who
was, thanks to Mr. Relay running over, was given FAR too little stage
time. |
This girl, while only being 18, gave a performance that was on a
parallel of much more seasoned artists...and blew us away! |
Rachel's guitar player. We're told she usually travels with a full
band, but this time only the one guitar...but...just...WOW! |
A Hot Air Balloon takes the field! |
They gave tethered rides up to 75 feet in the air. |
They're such an awesome sight to see. |
What Relay wouldn't be a Relay without.. |
The Jim & Lance Show group dance segment? |
AH...the Macarena. |
Even little ones give it a try! |
What? A Chicken Fight breaks out? |
A view of the track lined with Luminaries. |

Noel, Lance's son Derek, and Aaron came down to visit - and help pack up
to leave. |
