The Power of Purple week in Logan County is May 5th thru May 11th.

The kick-off to the Power of Purple week was held Monday evening in front of the courthouse, and ended with a lap around the courthouse.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Auction Network bus was parked along Columbus Avenue beside the courthouse, and the "bus rally" was held after the lap was completed.

A "Picture a Cure" took place, where cancer survivors talked about their experiences. These stories were shared with politicians in an attempt to gain support in the fight against cancer.

Bellefontaine High School will have it's Relay for Life walk for students on Friday the 16th.
