Paducah, KY – Despite the troubled economy, Paducah Power System raised a record high amount of funds and food during last year's "Christmas in the Park." Visitors gave a little over 31-thousand dollars and over 52-thousand pounds of food. That's an increase of 2-thousand dollars and 11-thousand pounds of food over last year. Last year's school challenge boosted the increase. Reidland Elementary won the food challenge and received 1,000 dollars for their school.
