Friends of Kara Cunningham are hosting a Share The Love Cancer Benefit on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 5:00 pm till midnight at the Carbon County Event Center. Everyone in the community is invited to attend this fun event.
“Myself and some other friends of Kara’s came together and wanted to do something and we came up with the idea of having an event right after Valentine’s Day, the Saturday after, where you can bring your Valentine out or you can bring your family out and there’s going to be something for everybody. We’re going to split the Event Center kind of in half, and there will be casino games on one side, and then the BINGO on the other side,” said Event Organizer, Alyssa Potter. There will be prizes awarded, face painting, casino games and a bake sale taking place throughout the evening.

Dinner will be served on this evening by Gettin Our Smoke On, who in turn will donate all of their dinner profits towards the cause. “Its really going to be something that everyone can enjoy. We hope that you come, and we’re really thankful for everyone that’s pulled the weight of putting this together, including those businesses.
