Duggers Bar & Grill

Join Duggers Bar & Grill on April 5th for live music by Nashville singer and song-writer, Chandler Roberts!

Spend the morning, full day, or overnight at Carver Acres in Hanson KY. This will be a VERY challenging, tough course through rolling hills and winding, raw terrain. It is a picturesque scene through the woods and around the beautiful lake. It will be interesting to see what distances can be set on this first-ever running. The 5k will be a true test of speed and endurance with the hills and less-than-perfect surface. Great food, 24-hour bonfire, DJ music, and a great time! There is plenty of room for campers, motor homes, and tents on the sprawling 25 acres.

Proceeds from the event will benefit New Hope Animal Rescue

STAY through Monday, April 8th as the farm is on the path for TOTAL ECLIPSE at 2 pm.
