During the 2024-25 school year, student lunch debt for Fayette County students topped $35,000. Through fundraising efforts, the Dahlhus Fund was able to issue a grand of $13,000 towards that debt at the end of the &#39;25 school year and aims to pay the entire lunch debt at the end of the 2025-26 year no matter what that amount is. </p> <p><strong>MIRROR TWIN BREWING AFTER PARTY/CELEBRATION</strong><br />The after race after party will be at Mirror Twin Brewing&#39;s Annex (730 National Avenue 40502) starting at 11am.
