Kayla Rosie celebrated her 12th birthday Saturday night by sitting with mixed emotions as Rebecca King cut her long locks of hair off in front of friends and family at the Lions Hall. Kayla’s Quest for Cancer Research raised over $14,000, according to mom, Kim. Her goal was to raise $1 for every Sylvan Lake resident ($11,115 according to the 2008 census). Besides money contributed earlier, they raised over $700 Saturday evening and still have the last batch of cans and bottles to recycle.
