Honey Bun Day is this Saturday and every elementary school child in Laurel County is getting a bun to celebrate and a chance to win $1,000 for their school! This week, each elementary student will receive a honey bun, coloring sheet, and ticket to bring to Honey Bun Day. The school with the most students turning in tickets at the event will win $1,000 from United Way of Laurel County to support student activities throughout the school year.
Students who turn in their tickets will also receive an extra entry into the $1,000 record-attempt giveaway. Participants must be present at 7 p.m. during the record attempt to win. No purchase is necessary!
How the Record Attempt Works
The highlight of Honey Bun Day is an attempt to set a record for the most people eating a honey bun at the same time. Everyone in the park will receive a honey bun and a numbered card. After the attempt, a random number will be drawn, and one lucky winner will receive $1,000!
