Plans are already underway to make the 2020 Okmulgee County Relay For Life event even bigger and better than before. Organizers met Wednesday at Mazzios to start preparing for the cancer-fighting program that brings several hundred volunteers and survivors together each year. Amber Atoigue Smith, chair of the 2019 Relay, was presented the Buddy Hott Spirit of Relay award for her efforts. The award is named for Buddy Hott, who was a familiar face and dedicated worker for the event for many years. Presenting the award was Ashley Price.
