NOLS Friday: Festivities for a Cause

June 2, 2006

Throngs_1It’s Friday in Lander. Not only is it a beautiful day, it’s also a chance for NOLS staff and the community to turn out for some fun that supports a great cause— the Relay for Life program that funds cancer research. Today’s fund raising shenanigans included burgers, ‘dogs, raffled prizes and a dunk tank.

Brad Even “Brad” (pictured at left), fresh back from Namibia and well disguised, put in an appearance on the tank’s hot seat.

MollyHere’s a shot of Molly (of the Lander Nature Conservancy office) braving the tank’s frigid waters. Her bold taunts and disco hand motions (click the pic…) only enraged the crowd and focused their dead-eye pitching.

Have a great weekend and stay dry.
