The babies were cute and the Country Store Christmas stage looked pretty. How could I resist documenting the event?

One photograph led to another and soon snapping pictures and videos took precedent over my urge to dance.

The turnout was good, the music top notch, the fellowship fun, and the reason we were there was heartwarming (in stark contrast to the bitter cold weather outside).

It was a fundraiser for Floyd ’s Young Actors Co-op actor and Spoken Word performer Wolf Cherrix (center), who has been managing Hodgkin’s lymphoma on and off since 2005.

The entertainment, the venue, the arts and crafts and other door prizes were all donated. Volunteers who organized the event said $1,600 was raised for Wolf’s holistic health treatments. Owwwwwooooo! Yip Yip!

Post note: Story and more photos will be in this week’s Floyd Press. Videos of musical performances are HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. More about Wolf’s story HERE.
