"Cancerween," today's American Cancer Society's fund-raising event, is an attempt to take the scare out of cancer.
Area business people will be captured and detained in the dungeon until they collect enough "treats" to be released.
Twelve tricksters will be captured at their place of employment by volunteers and will be taken to a "dungeon" until they solicit enough treats (pledges) from relatives, friends and co-workers to be set free.
The 12 tricksters are: Rozan Bonsignore, Dale Roth, Sandi Essner, Carolyn Pickens, Walt Wildman, Tom Reinagel, Chris Hutson, Cord Polen, Michele Tomlinson, Doug Sievers, Sharon Priest and Schirley Jo Huey.
The dungeon, built by Carpenters Local 1770 at West Park Mall, also has room for other persons that can be detained at a cost of $25. They will be released after matching the donation.
For information, phone 334-9197.
