No campaigning, smoking, drinking at Relay for Life

While this weekend's Relay for Life will be a fun, fund-raising event, there's no room for beer, cigarettes, or political candidates.

During the event, event chairman Cathy Lannae said, Relay rules prohibit dogs, alcohol, smoking at the site. No running or blocking the track is allowed, and no skateboards, skates, or bicycles may be ridden at the event.

And, since the non-profit American Cancer Society cannot be seen to endorse political candidates, Lannae said, "Political candidates cannot distribute materials and teams cannot promote or endorse a candidate at the Relay."

While current legislators may participate in fund-raising events, candidates may not campaign at the Relay, including parking signcovered vehicles in the parking area.
