Tom Stram skipped on stage at one point, incognito, to converse with his co-hosts Natalie Stram and Tom Nelson.

Some members of the local Girl Scout troop helped kick off the evening by leading the “Pledge of Allegiance.”

Teen Autumn Kivi performed musical numbers, several times, throughout the night, just as she has since she was a little girl.

Mary Peterson and Scott Paulson stayed awake for the long night with a little chicken dance boogie.

For the third year in a row, over $40,000 has been raised for heart disease and cancer research through the Heart and Cancer Telethon. For the 42nd year, the telethon has become a true community celebration. Though its organized by the Prairie du Chien Eagles Club, it’s the community that makes it an entertaining and heartfelt production. For more photos and information, visit eaglestelethon.org.
