Rain dampens Cruisin’ For Cancer in Kasson

Poor weather impacted the 4th Annual Cruisin’ For Cancer on June 24 in Kasson.
Fifty people turned out for the event, said organizer Tanya Young. They raised $3,000, which was shy of the goal for the St. John’s Warriors but “overall it went good,” Young said.
Because of rain, the fundraiser organizers didn’t put up the bounce house and other outdoor games. They also didn’t put out the luminaries as planned.
