The festivities ran for 12 hours straight, homemade foods ranging from sweet potato chips to freshly cooked $1.00 pancakes from Walmart & various games from 108 teams made it hard to pass up-All proceeds the teams made that night were donated to the American Cancer Society.

"Youth at Your Service"(Boys and Girls Club Big Island) set up a dart game with balloons as targets & a Rice Ball toss; if you popped three balloons or tossed your three Rice Ball in the hole- you won a free live fish. If you weren't so lucky, you could pick prizes from their treasurer chest.

Thank you to Bite Me Cookie Company who provided snacks & dinner for the youth & volunteers.
