GroceryGetterNation is making a significant impact in the community by supporting local school lunch programs. Since its establishment in 2018, GGNation has funded over 2,700 school lunches across five area community schools, namely Loogootee, North Daviess, Shoals, North Knox, and Eastern Greene. During the COVID-19 pandemic, GGNation implemented an emergency grant to cover the costs of student lunches, regardless of individual financial situations. As these funds gradually diminish, families are once again expected to bear the expenses. Recognizing this need, GGNation has organized the Summer Fun Fest on July 29, at Wagler Motorsports Park. This event serves as an opportunity to introduce families to the racing community, providing an evening of entertainment for all ages while raising funds to support GGNation’s mission. The upcoming ‘Gassers Under Lights’ event will feature the renowned gasser group ‘Straight Axle Mafia’ from Louisville. The event spans two days, with the main attractions scheduled for Saturday. Here are the key details:
