An estimated crowd of 1500 turned out  at the Chenango County Fairgrounds Friday for the start of the 16th annual Chenango County Relay For Life. Organizers said they almost hit their goal of 155,000 dollars raised, with the total this year coming in at an impressive 150,000 dollars.

40 teams of volunteers took part in the event to raise money in the fight against cancer.
