Polk County Relay For Life 2009

Our corrections community celebrated the Polk County 2009 Relay For Life. This year's event ran for 24 hours on May 15 & 16. The location was the beautiful Riverview Park Amphitheater in downtown Independence.

Officer Joe Gill and his family did their part--by participating on another relay team. So we locked Joe up! ;o)
