“Over the last 17 years we have served about 64,000 meals and touched countless people’s lives. When we first started frying a few turkeys, I never thought we’d fry more than a dozen or two, let alone be raising hundreds of thousands of dollars while doing it,” shares Lawrence reflecting on the event throughout the years. “I’m proud of how this event has grown and I’m thankful to have others in the community willing to participate to make it what it is today.”

In 2021, the annual Thanksgiving week concert raised $175,000 – the largest sum raised through the Turkey Fry event to date. Take a look into last year’s event here. The event’s past performers have included Country favorites such as Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, Chris Young, Lainey Wilson, Justin Moore, Cole Swindell, and more.
