WKDZ & WHVO are teaming up with Huck's Convenience stores for "Lucky's Back To School Bash." Lucky is Huck's mascot and is spearheading a fundraising drive through Huck's charity, "Karing for Kids." This afternoon, beginning at 3, Tony Winfield will be on WHVO and Bill Booth on WKDZ with live radio shows at the Huck's store on Lafayette Road in Hopkinsville. There'll be lots of chances to donate and, of course, save on your vehicle's fill-up! You'll probably find Tony & Bill taste testing in Huck's kitchen again. Make sure you stop in; rumor has it that they have a few giveaways to hand out. Today's efforts will raise money for the Millbrooke Elementary resource center. All the Huck's stores are fundraising through the end of the month to help elementary schools in Hopkinsville. Click HERE to donate online!
