On the morning of March 21, the Guthrie County Farm Bureau held its annual Grocery Cart Races fundraiser event at Hometown Foods in Guthrie Center. Teams competed to race through the store and “shop” for groceries to total as close to $100 as possible without going over $100. Teams had a base of four minutes to shop but also earned extra time by correctly answering quiz questions immediately before the shopping began.
The annual event had a goal of raising $3,000 to support local food pantries.
In this event, $100 can be spent quickly.
icipants scurried to filling their carts.
