The recent drag racing event at the Lake Cumberland Dragway brought thousands of spectators to Russell County, and the event also raised a notable amount of money for Russell County Schools.
Tourism Director Danielle Wilson was at the Russell County Fiscal Court meeting yesterday and said around 3,500 people attended the event. A portion of the money received from admission to the event was given to PTOs at each Russell County School.
Each school’s parent-teacher organization received $1,000 yesterday as representatives from each school were at the meeting to accept the donation.
