KERENS – Sweet tooths gathered at Elkins Raceway Saturday night for the annual Candy Rush event.
Over 40,000 individual pieces of candy were spread across the front stretch of the 3/8 mile dirt track Saturday for this sweet event. Children eagerly lined up with their families before the green flag dropped, marking the start to the Candy Rush. Children quickly filled their bags with sweets before an evening of feature races began.
