The KRSL/KZRS Summer of Fun is back for an 13th year and we have three great events for the entire family! We kick things off on Wednesday, June 24 with an AWESOME free movie at 7 PM at the Dream Theater in Russell. We’re also calling it our “Can Film Festival.” Instead of paying admission, we’d like you to bring non-perishable food items for the Russell County Food Pantry. Those who do will be entered for chances to win some really cool prizes.
