Car show benefit helps raise needed funds

A Why Knot Show ’Em Off car show held June 8 on the east side of Sloss Lake in Russellville helped raise funds in support of Scoliosis Awareness Month. The show, dubbed Bella’s Benefit Car Show, included cars, trucks, bikes and RatRods, and it included trophies, door prizes and 50/50 drawing. 

“My daughter, Bella Shotts, is going to Dallas for ten weeks for scoliosis surgery,” explained Krystle Abels Roberts. “We’ve had a few events to help raise money for this, including a motorcycle ride, bake sale, barbecue fundraiser and a fishing tournament; however; this is our first fundraiser for this in Franklin County.” 

Those wishing to help can follow the group’s Facebook page or message them there.

Correction: In last week’s paper, the Franklin County Times incorrectly listed Bella Shotts as the daughter of Bobbie Huggins. The Franklin County Times regrets the error.
