“It’s a community effort,” said Cheri Krejci, a cancer group member. Evidence of that came as Krejci listed the individuals who made the cancer group’s fourth annual Field of Flags display, which honors and remembers those who battled cancer with 250 pink flags, a reality. Dennis Heimerman, owner of Metal Services, donated the metal poles for the flags while Adam Bishop donated the little pink flags, Dick Raimann donated his land for the display, Mike and Sandy Jones marked the field last week and repainted the... And now, the cancer group is encouraging local businesses and residents to decorate their window displays and lawns pink, too. “We’d like them to show their support in the fight against cancer and paint Blooming Prairie pink,” Krejci said. The cancer group’s “Paint the Town Pink” event leads up to the 15th annual Cancer Auction. Starting on Sunday for its fourth year was the flamingo game, which individuals donating $10 to place flamingos in someone’s yard, and then that individual donated $10 to have the flamingos removes and placed in someone else’s yard. On Friday, the Blooming Prairie football team will have its pink night against St. Clair. Krejci said the senior football players will sport pink warmup jerseys before the game,.
