Otsego County Relay for Life

To Be Hosted In Milford Park

MILFORD – The Otsego County Relay for Life a few minutes ago announced a new location for its 2017 fundraiser, which is coming up May 20:  Historic Wilber Park in the Village of Milford.

Mayor Brian Pokorny and the Village Board welcomed the news.  “Events like this are what small communities are all about,” Pokorny said.  “We wish the organizers great success raising money for such a worthy cause and hope they return for years to come.”

The relay, on a Super Hero theme, will be 11  a.m.-10 p.m .  It previously had been planned for the Clark Sports Center.

Activities include a band, a jazz duo, dance performances, canvas painting and more. This is a family friendly event and a great way to honor our survivors. The annual survivor lunch will be at noon in the park’s pavilion.

The annual Paint the County Purple initiative will still take place on Main Street in Cooperstown, beginning on May 17 and leading up to the event. Mayor Jeff Katz has proclaimed May 17 Paint the County Purple Day, and will present the proclamation at 1 p.m. that day in village offices at 22 Main.
