Muleshoe Does Relay For Life
Friday, June 7, was Muleshoe’s night to do Relay for Life, a nation-wide, major funding event for the American Cancer Society. Not having been before, I decided to check it out. The program was held at the Bailey County Civic Center this year, which turned out to be a...
