SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College Scottsville Campus celebrated the first Fat Tuesday in Allen County on March 8 at the Lyric on Main.

Fat Tuesday marks the last day of eating rich foods before fasting during the 40-day Lenten season. On Tuesday night in Scottsville, more than 40 guests celebrated Fat Tuesday at the Lyric, the location of Scottsville's former movie theater. The celebration was the first known public celebration of Fat Tuesday, according to Scottsville Mayor Rob Cline.

The event -- sponsored by Midwest America Federal Credit Union -- raised more than $2,500 for scholarships for students who attend the LWC Scottsville Campus. This school year, LWC 82 enrolled students at its Scottsville Campus, which it has operated since 1992.
