The Cara Siefring Memorial Campout recently donated generously to the Cancer Association of Darke County in memory of Paul Staugler and Cara Siefring. The Cara Siefring Memorial Campout was held on September 15-17 2011.

This event lasted 3 days and featured Cosmic Bingo, Chili Dinner, 5K fun run, Chicken Dinners, a live band and many other fun activities. This campout started in 2008 and is being held yearly. The committee would like to thank Rossburg Acres for hosting this important event.

The proceeds of this benefit went to Mercer and Darke county Cancer Associations.
