Live harness racing made it's return for the 2015 season at the Huron County oval, Clinton Raceway this afternoon. The unofficial kick off to summer included a full card of trotters and pacers to entertain the large opening day crowd. Central Huron Secondary School was on track for a fundraiser that included a 50/50 draw, bbq, silent auction and bake sale, generating just over $1500 for their mental health awareness day planned for next school year.
"We can't thank the raceway enough for giving us this opportunity, it's such a great day and these community events are so important to keep our rural area thriving". The staff and students expressed their their thanks for all the support from the fans at Clinton Raceway.
Fans had the chance to win a BBQ from Verbeeks in Clinton, the lucky winner was Ann Bauer, she qualified through CKNX AM920 to attend as a VIP, and left with the BBQ.
This season is jam packed with a little something for everyone, from fundraisers and community events to stake races, driver's challenge and the return of Legends Day in September. Next Sunday those races fans who are 50 or better will receive a great package, including lunch, a betting voucher and program for $12. Visit www.clintonraceway.com for a complete list of events. Live race post time 1:30pm all summer long at Clinton Raceway
