West Side Nut Club Hands Out Nearly $170,000 From Fall Festival

Here's another reminder that all of those calories you consume at the Fall Festival really do add up for a bunch of great causes. At their annual Founder's Day dinner, the West Side Nut Club announced how they would distribute the nearly $170,000 raised at the 2018 Fall Festival.

Almost 20 different organizations will receive a portion of all that money...and that doesn't even factor in all of the food booths, who are all not for profit by the way. They all get to keep what they make throughout the week. See the list of recipients below (in no particular order) and how much they got.
