Spring Fling

Additional Information

The “Flower Children” team of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Marion County is hosting their thirteenth annual “Spring Fling” on Saturday, April 20th at the American Legion Hall – Post #174 in Palmyra. The fun-filled evening includes a social hour at 5:00, dinner at 6:00 and auction at 7:15. The meal is being catered by HATS Restaurant with an entree choice of pork loin or chicken cordon bleu.

Spring Fling offers everyone a chance to “Celebrate” those who have survived cancer and those who are currently battling cancer, “Remember” those who have lost their fight to cancer and “Fight Back” against a disease that knows no boundaries. Spring Fling will have both live and silent auctions featuring over 200 items donated by local and regional individuals and businesses with something for everyone. Auction items will include tickets for the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and Nationwide Series and NASCAR® races in Kansas City, hand-crafted items and furniture, overnight hotel stays, restaurant and spa gift certificates, auto care products, show tickets and many more items. Some of these items are expected to be displayed in Palmyra at J’s Salon and Pro Active Chiropractic Center, located on Main Street, and Exchange Bank on Hwy 61 and other businesses. The Flower Children will once again accept major credit cards at this year’s Spring Fling.
