SUMMARY: The “Cruise-In for the Kids” event was held to raise funds for special needs classrooms. Starting at 10 a.m., the community enjoyed activities like a car show, food trucks, vendors, a raffle, and bounce houses. Lauderdale County Sheriff even participated in a dunk tank. Event host Fieldale shared that he organized the event to help offset the high costs teachers face, especially for special needs supplies. The event has grown since its inception, despite interruptions in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Last year’s funds helped remodel a school building, and this year’s goal is $6,000 to support multiple schools. All profits will benefit special needs classrooms in the Lauderdale County School District.

Saturday’s event kicked off at 10 a.m., as members of the community came out to show their support while participating in the different activities for children.
