If the football field is filled with tents on a spring evening, it must be Relay for Life.

The cancer-fighting and remembrance event began at 6 p.m. Friday and was scheduled to last until 6 a.m. Saturday. Organizers were expecting their biggest turnout yet with more than 1,000 participants.

The Oak Creek Relay for Life is organized by the high school student council.
