Auditor To Be Balloon Bombarded For Charity Friday


Who doesn’t like to throw things at an elected official? Well, this Friday you can, AND it’s for a good cause!

Page County Auditor Melissa Welhausen has challenged our own Travis Weipert to participate in a Polar Plunge for Cancer. Lucky for Travis, this challenge arrived just as our weather turned the corner to spring, so Travis is adapting the “polar” part of the plunge..

This Friday at noon, county employees, passers-by, and members of the general public are invited to throw water balloons at our county auditor in the County Administration Building parking lot..

Donations are not required but will be happily accepted. Proceeds will benefit Landon Shaw, a little guy who’s off to a tough start. 5 month old Landon diagnosed with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor or AT/RT, which is a rare tumor usually diagnosed in childhood. Landon is just home from brain surgery and still has a long road ahead of him, and will complete chemotherapy and radiation in the upcoming weeks.
