OAK GROVE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – The 2nd Annual Corgi Race, hosted by Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel, brought a large crowd to the track on Mother’s Day. Taking place in between the harness horse races, the Corgi Race brought dog owners and lovers to see the pups race for the first-place medal.

Many community members were seen in their Sunday best enjoying the sunshine and races. In addition, a 50/50 raffle took place during the event to raise money for the Christian County Humane Society. A portion of merchandise sales also supported the cause.
