The 2012 Bell County Relay for Life was held Friday evening through Saturday morning at the football stadium at Bell County High School. A fun-filled, yet emotional event, Relay for Life featured several competitions and ceremonies, such as the lighting of the candles in memory of those who lost their life to cancer, as well as in honor of cancer survivors and current cancer patients. One of the more emotional parts of the event was a speech delivered by Bell County Chamber of Commerce Director Candice Jones about her mother Wanda Jones who died cancer. Pictured here are a few scenes from the event.
