Race Day – 2013 Soap Box Derby
Posted: June 1, 2013 Filed under: News Leave a comment »
What a great day for a race! The weather cooperated, and Adam drove the Kinsmen Soap Box car in the Kiwanis Kar Derby today. There was a little car trouble on the final run, but Adam did get one good run down the hill. It turned out to be a fun event, and Adam received a nice package of mementos. Thanks to the Kiwanis and volunteers for putting on the event.

The Derby is held on the Rideau Street hill next to Rideau Park. Come out and see us race, it will be lots of fun!
