The Henry County Convention and Visitors Bureau handed out prizes to 268 people who could prove they spent more than $25 in Henry County during race week. Race fans turned in more than $52,000 in receipts from shopping in Henry County. More than half of the people were from out of town, some from as far as Canada. People who visited the CVB booth with their receipts received T-shirts, coller bags and other items. Henry CVB has been doing its “receipt redemption” program for five years.
